WhatsApp: +86 18838072829In the pelletization process, the iron ore fines are converted into green pellets using drum or disc pelletizer, wherein binder and moisture are added to provide the necessary green strength. The green pellets being fragile are subsequently transferred to induration furnace, wherein the green pellets get fired to achieve the desired properties ...
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829The 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 ...

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
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Although bentonite clay is the most commonly used binder, there are many other possibilities that could be competitive in a number of situations. This article reviews the numerous types of binders (both organic and inorganic) that have been considered for iron ore pelletization, including discussion of the binding mechanisms, advantages and ...
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Iron Ore Pelletization: Part I. Fundamentals. ABSTRACT The behavior of iron ore pellet binders is complex. Any pellet binder is subject to a handful of practical requirements: that it be readily dispersed through a pellet, that it effectively controls the movement of water within the pellet, and that it contributes to the interparticle bonding ...
