723· Abstract Technologies have been developed and tested for obtaining new types of agglomerated iron ore materials and mono raw materials for blast-furnace smelting, which have the best metallurgical characteristics of agglomerates and pellets. These have an increased content of iron and residual carbon. The use of these materials in blast-furnace production will …
20171010· The first step in the production of steel or cast iron alloys is the reduction of iron ore, which contains iron oxide and gangue or mineral impurities, to unrefined hot metal or pig iron. The blast furnace is currently the key tool for ironmaking.
Due to the widespread eforts to reduce the environmental footprint of primary-route steel production, the high-grade iron ore market is growing in size and profile. Higher-purity ore types help to reduce emissions from traditional blast furnace ironmaking, while proposed routes to zero-carbon steel production rely on supply of high-grade iron ore. Increased transparency of …
726· The sinter plant that converts the iron ore fines into a desirable blast furnace feed, ofers an avenue for recy-cling wastes. One of the several wastes that are produced at an iron and steel plant is the undersized pellet fines, which cannot be directly used in iron making.
Pellet (steel industry) Iron ore pellets produced by LKAB, from ore mined in northern Sweden. Pellets are a processed form of iron ore utilized in the steel industry, specifically designed for direct application in blast furnaces or direct reduction plants. These pellets are spherical in shape, with diameters ranging from 8 to 18 millimeters.
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.
2020130· 1. Introduction A blast furnace (BF) is the most common process for hot metal production in the world. The BF is charged with metallurgical coke and iron-bearing materials separately, which leads to a lay-ered structure. The iron-bearing materials consist of iron ore pel-lets, lump ore, and sinter. When the charge material descends, it is reduced by CO and H2. In …
1126· Use of pellet gives rise to uniform bed permeability in comparison with iron ore or sinter. This leads to better gas–solid contact …
2024910· For carbon neutrality, the use of sinter should be decreased owing to higher CO2 emission in the sintering process of the blast furnace operations. This trend might contribute to the increased use of iron ore pellets with lower CO2 emission in the fabrication process, high reducibility and gas permeability due to higher mechanical strength. The pelletizing process …
Thus, blast furnace operators that consume seaborne iron ore will gradually increase the use of pellets in the blast furnace burden as the pellet feed supply grows. Hatch compared the use of …
The iron ore, pellets and sinter then become the liquid iron produced in the blast furnace with any of their remaining impurities going to the liquid slag. The coke is produced from a mixture of coals. The coal is crushed and ground into a powder and then charged into an oven.

Iron ore lump, sinter, and pellets comprise the main burden of modern blast furnaces. However, sinter and pellets are now the dominant blast furnace burden, because the natural lump supply …
Sinter and pellets are both formed by agglomerating iron ore fines from the ore mines and have normally undergone an enrichment process, which is not …
2013223· It is an agglomerating process of converting iron ore fines into ‘uniformed sized iron ore pellets’ which can be charged directly into a blast …
1218· As a promising method to strengthen the blast furnace smelting and to realize reduced fuel operation, high-proportion pellet charging has become the practice of BF ironmaking. Use of pellet gives rise to uniform bed permeability in comparison with iron ore or sinter. This leads to better gas–solid contact resulting in higher productivity at reduced coke and fuel rate. …
