Study the effect of chromite ore properties on pelletisation process
The chemical composition of the ore play decisive role in pelletisation and sintering operation. High-grade ores (B type) with low SiO 2 and CaO can be blended with low-grade ores (C type) to prepare a suitable blend for pelletisation and sintering process. A long term planning of a pelletisation plant needs a critical review of ore body ...
