UNDERSTANDING STRENGTH OF DRIED IRON ORE PELLETS ResearchGate
Bentonite is the traditionally used binder in iron ore pelletization. However, it consists of up to 85% silica and alumina which are undesired acidic gangue in ironmaking.

Humic substancebased binder (HB) has been found to be an effective substitution for bentonite in the production of iron ore pellets. In this study, it was found that the preheating time needed to be prolonged during the pelletization processing which is a remarkable feature of pellets with HB instead of bentonite. As far as the oxidation behaviors were concerned, a manifest oxidation ...
In the pelletization process, the iron ore fines are converted into green pellets using drum or disc pelletizer, wherein binder and moisture are added to provide the necessary green strength. The green pellets being fragile are subsequently transferred to induration furnace, wherein the green pellets get fired to achieve the desired properties ...
Bentonite and calcium hydroxide are the widely used binding materials in iron ore pelletizing plants. This investigation deals with studying the effect of using a mixture of both binders on the ...
Bentonite is the most common binder in iron ore pelletization. Bentonite has proven to be the most effective binder owing to its high water adsorption capacity and dry film strength. It is commonly used at an addition level of % by weight of iron ore. However, because of its acid constituents (SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3), it is considered as ...
This study illustrates the feasibility of pelletizing magnetite iron ore concentrate using four organic binders: KemPel, Alcotac CS, Alcotac FE16, and CMC, in comparison to bentonite as a reference.
A brief introduction to recent developments in iron ore pelletizing is provided in this chapter, including the world output of fired pellets, pellet production processes, preparation of pellet feed, inorganic and organic binders, and new additives.
In order to pelletize iron ore fines and/or concentrate, a binder is needed. Binder selection can vary from process to process depending on the unique goals of the project at hand, but bentonite clay is a common choice for iron ore. Various additives may also be included with the feedstock to improve performance in the blast furnace.
FOR IRON ORE PELLE"nZATION By Larry A. Haas,1 Jeffrey A. Aldinger,2 and Robert K. Zahl3 ABSTRACT The Bureau of Mines investigated the use of organic binders as substitutes for bentonite in agglomerating iron ore concentrate. Over 30 organic binders were evaluated at several dosage levels in laboratory tests.
1. Introduction. Iron ore pellets are an essential part of the blast furnace charge, with high grade, good strength, uniform particle size, good metallurgical properties, and so forth. 1,2 Especially, fluxed iron ore pellets have better hightemperature soft fusion performance and reduction performance. 3−5 However, the burden of the blast furnace is still dominated by a high proportion of ...
Bentonite solutions have viscous, variable, and lubricant properties. Different types of bentonites influence pellet properties, as well as the interaction among heterogeneous or homogeneous bentonites and iron concentrate [ 3 6 ]. In this study, we utilized three different types of bentonites for a pelletizing test.
For pelletization study, as received iron oxide pellet fines were ground to below 150 μ using ball mill. The particle size distribution of ground iron ore fines was determined by the Malvern particle size analyzer (Hydro 2000MU, UK) and shown in Fig. number was measured to determine surface area of the iron oxide pellet fines using air permeability apparatus (Model 6565, ToniPERM ...

Bentonite is a significant cost item in iron ore pelletization, and also contributes undesirable amounts of silica to the finished pellets. If the binding effectiveness of bentonite is increased, it will be possible to reduce the bentonite dosage, resulting in significant cost savings while producing higher quality, lower silica pellets.
The iron ore concentrates and different binders (bentonite, lime, limestone, and Cement) are mixed in calculated proportions and placed in a disk pelletizer with a 1 m diameter for pelletizing. The ratio of iron ore concentrates and binder mixture for different pellets is shown in Table 3. The disk angle and speed of the pelletizer are fixed as ...
In the production of iron ore concentrate pellets, binders are required to improve pellet green strength. The most popular binder for this purpose is bentonite clay, which is added at a rate of approximately % by weight of moist concentrate. Bentonite is a significant cost item in iron ore pelletization, and also contributes undesirable amounts of silica to the finished pellets.
The majority of iron ores must be ground to a fine particle size to allow the iron oxides they contain to be concentrated, and the concentrate must then be agglomerated back into large enough particles that they can be processed in blast furnaces. The most common agglomeration technique is pelletization, which requires the use of binders to hold the iron oxide grains together so that the ...
Bentonite is the most used binder due to favorable mechanical and metallurgical pellet properties, but it contains impurities especially silica and alumina. The importance of many researches concerning alternative binders is also discussed in this chapter.
Bentonite is the most common binder in iron ore pelletization. In the present work, laboratory experiment as well as basket trials were carried out with partial replacement of bentonite by flyash as a binder. Flyash is a coal combustion residue produced from power plants.
Iron ore pellets are essential inputs for producing direct reduced iron (DRI), but the conventional binders, used in iron ore pelletizing, introduce gangue oxides to the DRI and consequently increase the slag generation and energy consumption in the steelmaking unit.
ABSTRACT This part reviews the goals of introducing organic binders into iron ore pelletization. Organic binders present a relatively small number of unique binding options but provide an extraordinary amount of flexibility in how to apply them. The key factors that lead into an effective organic binder are good dispersion into the iron ore, the ability to maintain the dispersion of the iron ...
