Sintering is an agglomeration process that fuses iron ore fines fluxes recycled products slag forming elements and coke The purpose of sintering is to obtain a product with suitable composition quality and granulometry to be used as burden material in the blast furnace This process is widely studied and researched in the iron and
Generically the iron ore products for ironmaking can be Pellet feed < Agglomeration by pelletizing to be fed to blast The straight grate process is composed of a single furnace where
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 iron ore concentrate

Iron ore agglomeration is a wet process where particles are held together by the surface tension and capillary forces when wet they will fall apart upon drying unless binders are present

The LMP process is a lower temperature iron ore agglomeration method designed to operate at about 300°C lower temperatures than existing iron ore pelletising processes while maintaining the required physical and metallurgical agglomerate properties The novelty of the LMP process is characterised by the lower
Keywords Pelletizing Agglomeration HPGR Milling 1 Introduction Modern iron ore pelletizing process operations may be divid ed into two main process sections feedstock preparation and agglomeration processes In most plants the required particle size distribution PSD is obtained through the wet ball mill circuit
Introduction Iron ore pellets are one type of iron rich intermediate product used during primary iron and steel making During pellet production fine grained iron containing minerals are liberated from lowgrade ores concentrated and agglomerated into round balls that are thermally hardened to form pellets Pellets are then transported to Blast Furnace or Direct Reduction operations
Vale s proprietary briquetting technology enables the production of high quality iron ore agglomerates from the low temperature process using a technological solution of binders which gives the final product high mechanical strength Initial test results have shown promising results in using iron ore briquettes in the direct reduction process
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
Falling prices for iron ore with lower quality than 60 % Fe have led increasingly to the design of iron ore beneficiation lines General problems of water scarcity and risks with tailings dams have led to the focus shifting to dry beneficiation technologies In the following article current developments are examined and case studies referenced
Iron Bearing Materials Ore fines and iron concentrates make the main part of the sinter mix The grain size of ore fines and concentrates is typically 0 8 and 0 3 mm smaller than mm are not desired because they reduce the gas permeability of the bed and thus decrease the sintering materials such as
Automated optical image analysis of natural and sintered iron ore E Donskoi Manuel in Iron Ore 2015 Sinter Low temperature < 1300 °C iron ore sinter is an agglomerate of unmelted and partially melted nuclei particles 1 mm and a matrix bonding phase produced from the melting of fine ore − 1 mm and flux particles with the majority of melt formation
The chemical compositions of the two binders Funa and bentonite are shown in Table is available as a kind of black powder and has a particle size of 100% minus 140 mesh and a bulk density of t/m 3 while bentonite has a bulk density of t/m 3 and a particle size of 100% minus 200 mesh As seen in Table 3 Funa is much different from
