The Direct Reduction of Iron. Thomas Battle, ... James McClelland, in Treatise on Process Metallurgy: Industrial Processes, 2014. 1.2.2.2 Agglomeration of Iron Ore. The three major forms of iron used in ironmaking are pellets, lump, and sinter. The major change in the past 50 years has been the development of cost-effective pelletization technology allowing pellets to be a …
The iron ore pelletizing process consists of three main steps: 1. Pelletizing feed preparation and mixing: the raw material (iron ore concentrate, additives ... requiring to be agglomerated by different processes such as sintering or pelletizing. The main used reduction reactors are the blast furnace (BF) and direct reduction reactors (DR).
Sintering and pelletizing are iron ore agglomeration processes that allow the use of ores with a size lower than 10 mm in the blast furnace, without impairing the furnace's permeability (Fernández-González et al., 2017a). Sintering is the most widely used agglomeration process in the world for ferrous burden preparation to the blast furnace ...
Sintering is the most widely used agglomeration process for preparing iron ore fines for blast furnace applications. We are using our expertise in iron ore sintering and evaluation of blast furnace burdens to assist industry to maximise the value of their resources, optimise product quality and reduce their environmental footprint.
Primetals Technologies brings an extensive portfolio of iron ore beneficiation, pelletizing, sintering and iron ore reduction technologies to the table. It has been involved in the deployment of one third of the global fleet of MIDREX DRI plants — the now predominant natural gas based direct-reduction technology, which can be operated on ...
Direct reduction (DR) of iron ore with hydrogen is a potential route for near-zero CO 2 steelmaking, but vertical shaft DR reactors require that iron ore fines must first be pelletized. This study reports an investigation of the pelletization and subsequent sintering behaviour of titanomagnetite (TTM) ironsand, which is the main iron ore feedstock for New Zealand's steel …
In the last years, pelletizing has been playing an important role for iron ore mining and ironmaking. Some factors have contributed to this fact like as: depletion of high-grade iron ore reserves ...
Despite this, solid-state sintering in iron ore pelletizing proceeds to the intermediate stage, where the purpose is simply to agglomerate the particles. To create agglomerated particles that sinter up to the intermediate stage, the induration temperature of pelletizing processes is in the range of 1200–1350 °C.

Traditionally, fine ores are treated either by the process of sintering and/or by pelletizing to prepare an agglomerate with suitable metallurgical characteristics for ironmaking processes.
The iron and steel production is a lengthy and comprehensive process, which includes iron ore processing, coking, sintering, pelletizing, blast furnace (BF) iron making, basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking, electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking, casting, rolling and etc., (Cavaliere, 2016, Ghosh and Chatterjee, 2008).
The iron and steel manufacturing sector directly accounts for 7–9% of global CO2 emissions. Raw material preparation, such as iron ore sintering, pelletizing, and cock making, is the major CO2 emitter. As climate change becomes a bigger concern, steel manufacturers need to lower CO2 emissions without hindering efficiency or increasing costs. In recent years, …

Although iron ore concentrates are generally higher in iron grade and contain lower impurities, the finer size distribution of concentrates limits their usage in iron ore sintering. Therefore, pelletizing is needed to produce fired pellets from concentrates as burden materials for blast furnaces and direct reduction (DR) processes.
Pellet production requires iron ore concentrates have fine particle size, high specific surface area and good balling performance, so iron ore concentrates appropriate for pelletizing is limited compared to sintering. In order to extend the iron ore resources for pelletizing, the iron ore fines for sinter are studied in this paper.
