1. Introduction. The binder is an important additive widely applied in pelletizing iron ore concentrates, making iron ore pellets available as feedstocks for blast furnace ironmaking or direct reduction processes [1,2,3].Bentonite clay, due to its excellent effectiveness and relatively low cost, has been the predominant binder for pellet production since 1950s [4,5,6].
machine, resulting in negative consequences for both pelletizing capacity and pellet . ... There is great incentive to reduce bentonite use in iron ore pelletization by improving its effectiveness ...
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 ...
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.
... 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...
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 ...
The selection of an appropriate binder type and dosage is of critical importance in producing good quality pellets at a reasonable price. Binders accomplish two very important functions in iron ore pelletization: The binder makes the moist ore plastic, so that it will nucleate seeds that grow at a controlled rate into wellformed pellets.
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.
The functions and molecular structure of organic binders for iron ore pelletization have been investigated in this paper based on the basic principles of molecular design, interface chemistry and polymer science as well as failure model of binding systems. The following conclusions are achieved. Functionally, good organic binders for iron ore ...
fine concentrate. The most commonly employed one is pelletizing in iron ore industry. In pelletizing, iron ore, water and a binder are balled in a mechanical disc or drum to produce agglomerates. Bentonite is the most widely used binder. However, it is considered as an impurity due to its high SiO 2 and Al 2O 3 content. Many researchers have ...
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 ...
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.
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.
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 ...
Keywords: HA, modified bentonite, characterization, iron ore, pelletization Abstract A new kind of iron ore pellet binder named humic acid modifying bentonite (HAMB) has been developed by the author's group, which has the advantages of both organic HA and inorganic bentonite. The green pellet strength can be obviously improved by
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 ...
A laboratory study was carried out to characterize the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of lime fluxed (varying basicity 02) hematite iron ore pellets. Lime was used as additive as well as fluxing agent for making iron ore pellets. The effect of additives on different properties of pellets was studied. The findings show that on increasing the addition of lime, more of calcium ...
Bentonite is a predominant binder used in iron ore pelletization. However, the presence of a high content of silica and alumina in bentonite is considered undesirable for ironmaking operations.
What Is Iron Ore Pelletization Process. ... The next step involves grinding this dried residue, with the addition of Bentonite which is a binder chemical. This concentrate is then passed through a specialized machine, known as a disc pelletizer, that helps form standardsized pellets. Once pellets are formed they are hardened under high ...
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.
Iron ore pellets are spheres of typically 616 mm ( in) to be used as raw material for blast furnaces. They typically contain 6472% Fe and various additional material adjusting the chemical composition and the metallurgic properties of the pellets. [3] Typically limestone, dolomite and olivine is added and Bentonite is used as binder.
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 residue of bentonite after roasting mainly contains SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3, leading to a ~ % decrease in pellets iron content for every % increase in bentonite content of raw materials ...
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.
