particles to form iron ore pellets. Second, most of the tests require up to 20 hours to perform. Bentonite only has afew minutes to interact within the concentrate before it is indurated (sintered). For this reason, these longterm tests may not reflect the true behavior of bentonite during iron ore pelletization. Third, the tests are
A laboratory study was carried out to characterize the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of lime fluxed (varying basicity 02) hematite iron ore pellets.

ABSTRACT Humic substances exist widely in lignite coal as high molecular weight organic molecules. They can be used as binders in iron ore pelletization mostly in the form of salt, such as sodium humate and amine humate via extraction from lignite coal. It is worth determining if lignite can be used as a binder without extraction. As a composite binder of organic and inorganics, due to 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 ...
Iron Ore Pelletizing Process: An Overview 43 Pellets produced to be used in ironmaking processes must have characteristics that meet the list of quality...
Yet, bentonite does not undergo any such chemical reactions within pellets. Instead, bentonite physically binds to iron ore particles. Bentonite additionally controls excess water within the pellet. Sodium bentonite in particular can absorb around 900% PWA, allowing pelletization moistures to remain considerably more consistent than without binder.
Finely ground bentonite of size − 75 microns, comprising of SiO 2 (%) and Al 2 O 3 (%) was used for comparative study with the developed binder. All the raw materials including iron ore, Kimberlite, binder, etc. were kept in the air oven at 105 °C for minimum 12 h before carrying out pelletization studies.
CCS was measured for 20 pellets in a compression testing machine (SETT2000, Shanta Engineering, Mumbai, India) following the standard procedure of ISO 4700. ... Bentonite is the most common binder to be used in iron ore pelletization. However, bentonite contributes to additional alumina and silica in the pellet, decreasing the iron content ...
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 ...
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.
The iron ore pelletizing process consists of three main steps: Pelletizing feed preparation and mixing: the raw material (iron ore concentrate, additives —anthracite, dolomite —and binders are prepared in terms of particle size and chemical specifications, dosed, and mixed together to feed the pelletizing process;
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.
⋅ Iron ore pelletization with bentonite binder works by a different binding mechanism than with FBB. 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 flyash exceeded minimum industrial specifications for dry compressive strength.
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 ...
In the magnetite iron ore pelletization process, oxidation of magnetite followed by sintering of the oxidized magnetite (hematite) is desirable. Optimum preheating time temperature and roasting time temperature is required to get the desired properties of the pellets with magnetite, hematite, and hematitemagnetite blend. In order to utilize the magnetite resources in a current ...
January 2017. Jacob McDonald. The 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 ...
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 ...
Addition of 1% bentonite to an iron ore concentrate results in a lowering of acid pellet iron content by % [1]. ... Structurally, good organic binders for iron ore pelletization should contain sufficient polar groups (X) and hydrophilic groups (Y) and possess the structure mold like [X P Y] n. Ionization potential, electron affinity, group ...
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 interparticle bonding within the pellet.
... Several studies and research have already been conducted to test organic binders as alternative binders to bentonite [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21]. A combination of...
