Iron ore fines are agglomerated into green pellets by first mixing magnetite concentrate, water, additives and binder, i.e. bentonite. In the next step, green pellets are formed in balling drum or disk pelletizer and then the pellets are dried and indurate in straight grate or grate kiln plants to form the final pellet product [1], [2].

Evolution of binder for iron ore pelletizing Binders are used in the pelletizing of iron ore aiming to improve the performance of the process in the following aspects [1, 4, 11, 16, 17]: • promoting and facilitating the balling; • increasing the green and dry strength of the pellets; • preventing the collapse of pellets in the initial ...
High grade iron ore less than 10% of the total reserves. ROM iron ore with Fe less than 58 – 60% discarded as waste. After beneficiation iron ore availability can improve by about 50%. Steel community and the country demand technological solutions for utilising low grade ores. The technology task that would be imperative: 1.
The pelletizing plant consists of a number of balling drums, which are aligned serially. The iron ore concentrate is rolled in these drums to make pellets. Pellets are scrutinized and sorted according to their size specifications. The pellets that are over or undersized are crushed and returned to the balling drums. The pellets that are out of ...
From mixing the filter cake is sent to the balling area where the ore is agglomerated on balling discs or balling drums into green(or unfired) pellets. Both drums and discs …
Therefore, to adjust green pellets sizing to serve as iron burden, a fundamental equipment, the roller screen, is used between the balling disk/drum …
Effect of damp milling moisture content on the properties of green balls produced at 1.0% bentonite and 8.0% balling moisture content (the concentrate was milled at an occupancy rate of 17.36% and ...
Green pellets are made by combining moist ore with a binder and rolling it into balls using either a pelletizing disk or a pelletizing drum. The green pellets are then dried, preheated, and finally heated to a temperature below the melting point of iron oxides, approximately 1300°C, to achieve strength.
In this scenario, the world pelletizing capacity grew from 350 Mt/year in 2000 to more than 600 Mt/year in 2020. ron ore products and the corresponding use in iron making. (4) Typical ...
All FEECO balling drums are engineered around the unique characteristics of iron ore for optimized, long-term green ball production. High-Capacity Iron Ore Agglomeration Iron ore pelletizing plants rely on high-capacity balling drums to agglomerate ore fines and concentrates into pellets ranging from 8 – 16 mm for optimal performance in the ...
5. CONT.. The quality requirements of pellet, such as physical, chemical and metallurgical specifications, depend on each ironmaking furnace and those requirements influence the operation of the iron ore pelletizing plant. The idea of rolling moist fine ore in a drum to form balls and then drying and firing it was first patented by A. G. Andersson …
Pellets are balls formed by rolling moist concentrates and fines iron ores of different mineral- ogical and chemical composition, …
The moisture content in green pellets with 0.5% bentonite was varied between 7.3% and 9.4%. By increasing the bentonite dosage up to 1.5%, the moisture range suitable for balling could be expanded up to 10.5%. Results from individual micro-balling batches are reported below.
The importance of feed preparation and also the balling process to produce green balls of adequate strength and porosity is highlighted. The effect of pellet basicity incorporated …
The iron ore concentrate is then filtered, mixed with a binder, usually bentonite, and balled in large balling drums to wet green pellets. The capacity in one balling circuit can be up to 200 t/h. The green pellets are screened to collect the on-size fraction (9–16 mm) for induration; the under-size fraction is recycled back to the balling ...
1.1.3.2.2.2 Green Pellets. The ore is crushed, ground, and concentrated in several steps to very small grain size—e.g., over 75% less than 45 μm. Binder (bentonite or organic) and possible additives are fed in the slurry and mixed before filtering. The filter cake is transported to large balling drums or balling discs to be rolled to green ...
Ballability of iron ore concentrates provides important indication on the preparation of green pellets [1,2], good ballability generally indicates an easy coalescence of fine particles and the ...

In the iron-bentonite system, the capillary force is the dominant force in the formation of green pellets, and its size depends on the particle size distribution and hydrophilicity of iron ore [27 ...
An iron ore pelletizing disc, also known as a balling disc or pan pelletizer, is a piece of specialized equipment used in the iron ore pelletizing process. Its purpose is to convert iron ore fines into pellets, which are small, spherical clumps of iron ore. The pelletizing disc transforms the mixed material in green balls with a diameter < 25 mm.
The iron ore concentrate is then filtered, mixed with a binder, usually bentonite, and balled in large balling drums to wet green pellets. The capacity in one balling circuit can be up to 200 t/h.
