Cold briquetting of iron ore fines for DRI production: challenges
Fine and ultrafine iron ores have always been a challenging raw material to use in the blast furnace as well as in alternative ironmaking processes. Despite of having superior iron content than lumpy ores, their handling is very difficult. Traditional techniques like sintering and pelletizing have certain limitations in terms of particle size of fine ores as well as a …

Optimization of Pellet Plant Straight Grate Induration
Indian iron ores are suffering from high amounts of alumina and loss on ignition (LOI), which are deleterious constituents in both the pelletizing as well as iron making processes. Iron ore fines utilized in pellet making consist of alumina in the range of 3.20–3.35% and LOI in the range of 3.50–3.70%. Detailed palletization studies have …
