DetailsABSTRACT The behavior of iron ore pellet binders is complex. Any pellet binder is subject to a handful of practical requirements: that it be readily dispersed through a pellet, that it effectively controls the movement of water within the pellet, and that it contributes to the inter-particle bonding within the pellet. Meeting these requirements …
DetailsFines iron ore oxides are generated during mechanized mining as well as comminution, beneficiation, transportation, and agglomeration processes. These iron ore fines need to be taken care of and reused in ironmaking. The present work focuses on the utilization of those fines by agglomeration techniques and converting them into reduced …

DetailsBinder 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 …
DetailsThe 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 …
Detailsment. In particular, in the iron ore pelletizing industry, the intricate nature of the bentonite indicator system presents a significant challenge for quality assessment and optimization of bentonite as a pellet binder (BPB).[4] Iron ore pelletizing is a prominent application field for bentonite that constitutes approximately 15 to 20 pct of
DetailsThe contributions of binders such as bentonite, starch, cements, dispersants, fluxes, and other additives which have been used in pellets are discussed …
DetailsThe taconite ore processing industry produces usable concentrations of iron-bearing material by removing nonferrous rock (gangue) from low-grade ore. The six-digit Source Classification Code (SCC) for taconite ore processing is 3-03-023. Table 11.23-1 lists the SCCs for taconite ore processing. Taconite is a hard, banded, low-grade ore, and is ...
DetailsOrganic binders as alternatives to bentonite in iron ore pelletisation have found limited application since they fail to give enough mechanical strength to preheated and fired pellets. This paper describes the use of alternative binders to bentonite for haematite ore pelletisation. ... Grinding and liberation process leaves the iron ore in a ...
DetailsFerrous metallurgy, in particular the process of pelletizing iron ore concentrates, is one of the main consumers of bentonite clays. The problem with the bentonite binder is well known, and is the increase in silica content (the main harmful impurity) in the roasted pellets as a result of its use. This predetermines long-term …
DetailsBentonite 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 iron-making.
DetailsSodium-activated calcium bentonite is used as a binder in iron ore pellets and is known to increase strength of both wet and dry iron ore green pellets. In this article, the microstructure of bentonite in magnetite pellets is revealed for the first ..., 647–659. Kawatra, S.K. & Ripke, S.J. ~2002!. Effects of bentonite fiber formation in iron ...
DetailsThe replacement of bentonite as the standard iron ore binder is an important factor in the future of iron processing. Bentonite adds unwanted silica to the final concentrated iron ore product.
DetailsIn the production of iron ore concentrate pellets, binders are required to improve pellet green strength. The most popular binder for this purpose is bentonite …
DetailsPelletizing iron ore fines is an agglomeration process that through a thermal treatment converts the ultra-fines fraction thereof into small balls ranging in size from 8mm (0.31 in.) to 18mm (0.71 in.), with adequate characteristics for feeding steel reduction works.
DetailsThe most common agglomeration technique is pelletization, which requires the use of binders to hold the iron oxide grains together so that the agglomerates can be sintered into high-strength pellets. Although bentonite clay is the most commonly used binder, there are many other possibilities that could be competitive in a number of …
Details1. Introduction. The pelletizing process has emerged as a crucial method for producing charge in blast furnaces due to low energy consumption and minimal pollutant emissions [1, 2].In recent years, due to stricter environmental regulations and increased demand for high-quality raw materials by blast furnaces, the development of pellets has …
DetailsDry beneficiation is generally used to process bentonite with better raw ore quality, or bentonite-rich ore with montmorillonite content of more than 80%.This method is to dry the raw ore in the sun, air dry it naturally or dry it in the oven. It is first crushed manually or with a jaw crusher, and then crushed with a Raymond mill and other roll …
