The work discussed a technology for iron ore agglomeration, where a mixed charge was humidified up to 6–10% with a pulp containing bentonite with a particle size of no more than 0.1mm and consumption of 2–18 kg/t. This resulted in an increased impact strength of the obtained agglomerate and its reduced resistance to abrasion.

Characterization of modified humic substances based binders for iron ore agglomeration was examined by chemical analysis, optical density, Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), and thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (TG–DSC). Chemical analysis displays the proportion of fulvic acid (FA) to humic acid (HA) in the binder is …

Bentonite is a physical binder, while FBB is a pozzolanic binder. ⋅ Iron ore concentrate pellets produced with up to 50% of the bentonite replaced by fly-ash exceeded minimum industrial specifications for dry compressive strength. However, the pellet strengths decreased proportional to the amount of replacement.

Sintering is a thermal agglomeration process that is applied to a mixture of iron ore fines, recycled ironmaking products, fluxes, slag-forming agents, and solid fuel (coke). The purpose of the sintering process is manufacturing a product with the suitable characteristics (thermal, mechanical, physical and chemical) to be fed to the blast furnace.

2.2 Methods 2.2.1 Pelletizing experiment. The capillary force, chemical adsorption force and other forces provided by aqueous solution formed a liquid bridge between green pellets, which were the main factor to particle agglomeration [].For example, the unhydrous iron-bearing materials could not form into pellet with bentonite, …

Binder is essential in the iron ore agglomeration. Fulvic acid (FA) is one of organic active fractions of the MHA binder. A further study of the interaction between FA and iron ore surface was ...

Agglomeration of ore into coarse, porous masses achieves this even distribution of fluids by preventing fine particles from migrating and clogging the spaces and channels between the larger ore particles. ... Methods have also been developed for iron ore processing which are intended to improve the performance of pellet binders, and …

Low-grade iron ores are finely ground and processed to recover iron-bearing minerals. However, the iron-rich powder is too fine to be used directly in blast furnaces and most direct reduction furnaces, and must be agglomerated or pelletized into a usable product called "pellets." Bentonite clay has traditionally been used as a binder to make …

Therefore, a promising alternative is been recommended in which these iron fine wastes could be considered a direct feedstock without prior agglomeration or sintering for a hydrogen-based direct reduction steelmaking process using Circored® technology, in which iron ore fines are directly reduced in a two-stage fluidized bed process that ...

To avoid these problems, the authors' group developed a novel composite agglomeration process (CAP) to handle their uses in iron ore sintering . In CAP, the dusts were prepared as pelletized feed, while the other raw materials including iron ore, return fines, flux, and coke breeze were used to prepare matrix feed. The pelletized and matrix ...

Ram Pravesh Bhagat. CRC Press, Jul 11, 2019 - Technology & Engineering - 438 pages. This book focuses on agglomeration, or the size enlargement process, of iron ores. This process sits at the interface of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. The book begins with a discussion of raw materials preparation and the beneficiation process.

The iron ore industries of India are expected to bring new technologies to cater to the need of the tremendous increase in demand for quality ores for steel making. With the high-grade ores depleting very fast, the focus is on the beneficiation of low-grade resources. However, most of these ores do not respond well to the conventional …
