Bentonite is the traditionally used binder in iron ore pelletization. However, it consists of up to 85% silica and alumina which are undesired acidic gangue in ironmaking.

The production of iron ore pellets at JSW Steel Limited involves the drying of iron ore fines to get the moisture less than 1% and grinding the dried material to get the required fineness 45 μm size ≥%.Prior to the formation of green pellets, the ground ore is mixed with small amounts of binding agents such as bentonite ( to %), fluxes such as limestone to get the pellet ...
The pelletization process is the primary consumer of binders in the iron ore industry. 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: .
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
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 ...
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.
ABSTRACT The addition of pellet binders often represents a compromise between the pellet grade and quality measures as strength, reducibility, and dustiness. Each inorganic compound present within the pellet plays a specific role in each aspect of creating a highquality pellet. This review seeks to clarify the roles of both binders and coincidentally present inorganic compounds to highlight ...
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 ...
The present application of binders used in the iron ore industries indicates that the most common binder is bentonite, which is generally added as % by weight of iron [10, 11]. It has proved to be the most effective binder due to its high water adsorption capacity and dry film strength [ 12 ].

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 ...
The goals stemming from the final reduction process are drawn back through the pelletization process to present a clear rationale for why each material can be used to control the pellet quality. Major inorganic binders such as bentonite, colemanite, and lime are examined along with less commonly used alternatives.
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.

Pellet plants sized from to 9MTPA. Engineering and design of complete plants from ore receiving to pellet discharge. Supply of the main pelletizing and indurating ...
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 ...
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.
ture is required, as well as a binder agent, for instance bentonite or Portland cement. The mixture is sent to the extrusion machine to obtain the agglomerated product [8]. Pelletization Pelletization is an agglomeration process of iron ore concentrates with a granulometry lower than 150 m and low concentration of impurities [10, 11].
A brief introduction to recent developments in iron ore pelletizing is provided in this chapter, including the world output of fired pellets, pellet production processes, preparation of pellet feed, inorganic and organic binders, and new additives.
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.
Pellets from the concentrates with the composition given in Table 1 and fluxes were chosen as objects of rocks with the comparable content of CO 2, 43 ± 2%, were used as dosage was chosen to achieve the cementsand ratio B 2 = CaO/SiO 2 of and The amount of binder (bentonite powder) in all the experiments was taken % (dry weight).
Molasses was used as an alternative binder to the bentonite binder. The change in moisture absorption by pellets prepared with different iron ores and different molasses contents were investigated. Iron ore properties exerted the major effect on pellet behavior and final pellet quality. The absorbed moisture content of pellets prepared without binder, bentoniteadded pellets, and molasses ...
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 ...
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
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.
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 ...
