Iron Ore Pelletizing . Bentonite is commonly used in pelleting of iron ore. The use of bentonite as binding agent is quite common in the world due to its availability and its being cheap. Montmorillonite montmorillonite (Al, Mg)2 (OH)2 (Si, Al)4 O10 n. H2O, which the main mineral of bentonite, is fine grained. Specific surface area reaches up to 10.000 cm2/gr. Natural
PELLETIZING OF IRON ORE Due to its water absorption capacity and colloidal property, bentonite is used as a binding additive to convert iron ore fines into pellets Through this process, iron ore fines are converted into spherical pellets, suitable as feed material in blast furnaces for pig iron production, or in the production of direct reduction iron .
Bentonite for Iron-Ore Pelletizing. Bentonite is used as a binding agent in the production of iron ore pellets. Through this process, iron ore fines are converted into spherical pellets, suitable as feed material in blast furnaces for pig iron production,
01/07/2002 Iron ore pelletization plants in the United States used approximately 612,000 metric tons of bentonite as a binder to produce iron ore concentrate pellets in 2000 (Virta, 2001). It is a major cost item, with individual plants spending US$3–5 million annually for bentonite. Since bentonite also contributes silica to the finished pellets, there is incentive for finding ways to
11/07/2018 Bentonite, an inorganic binder, has been the main binder used in the iron ore pelletizing process since the beginning of pellet production in the 1950s. Bentonite promotes the formation of ceramic bridges between particles, which can minimize the number of pellets that collapse during firing. Despite its low cost, the inorganic compounds from bentonite are
However, bentonite is aluminium silicate clay and therefore the use of it is a contradiction since the purpose of iron ore preparation for pelletizing is the removal of those since they are
Bentonite is an effective, widely used binder in the iron ore pelletizing process. Its low price is an important factor for its extensive use. However, bentonite incorporates silica and alumina, which are undesirable contaminants to pellets. Additionally, it is a natural material with variable composition depending on its origin.

Iron Ore Pelletizing Bentonite. The need for iron ore pellets is directly connected to the steel production industry. Through the pelletizing process, iron ore fines are converted into spherical pellets, which are then suitable as feed material in blast furnaces for pig iron production. Imerys’ bentonite acts as the binding agent in the production of iron ore pellets. This clay mineral has

INTRODUCTION The main raw material for iron-steel industry is natural iron oxide ores. Natural iron oxide ores can be typically classified as high grade (>65% Fe), medium grade (<65 and >62% Fe) and low grade
Bentonite is the most widely used binder in iron ore pelletizing. The use of bentonite is favorable in terms of physical, mechanical and metallurgical pellet qualities, however, because of its acid constituents (SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3) it is considered as an chemical impurity especially for concentrate with high SiO 2 content. These acid oxides are known for their adverse effects on

Pelletizing of iron ore was started in the 1950s to facilitate the utilization of finely ground iron ore concentrates in steel production. For the pelletizing of iron ore there are two main types of processes namely, the straight travelling
Bentonite binders are cost-effective, environmental solutions since the majority of the sand and binder can be reused in a cyclical system. In iron ore pelletizing Imerys bentonite is used as a binder for the formation of iron ore pellets. Pellets are balls produced from iron ore or concentrates and are used as feed material for iron making.
10/01/2015 Bentonite products are shipped either directly from production plants and also from storage facilities located in the Moscow region. In iron ore pelletizing sector– OJSC Karelsky Okatysh, OJSC Evraz Kachkanarsky GOK, OJSC Mikhailovsky GOK, OJSC OEMK, OJSC Lebedinsky GOK, JSC Stoilensky GOK, JSC Donskoy GOK (Kazakhstan) etc.;
Bentonite is an effective, widely used binder in the iron ore pelletizing process. Its low price is an important factor for its extensive use. However, bentonite incorporates silica and alumina, which are undesirable contaminants to pellets. Additionally, it is a natural material with variable composition depending on its origin.
Binder selection can vary from process to process depending on the unique goals of the project at hand, but bentonite clay is a common choice. Various additives may also be included with the feedstock to improve performance in the blast furnace. The mixing stage thoroughly mixes the iron ore, binder, and any additives in order to provide the pelletizer with a uniform feedstock.
Bentonite for Iron-Ore Pelletizing. Bentonite is used as a binding agent in the production of iron ore pellets. Through this process, iron ore fines are converted into spherical pellets, suitable as feed material in blast furnaces for pig iron production,
22/06/2017 The physical and chemical properties such as particle size, montmorillonite content, swelling degree, water absorption, and blue absorption of A, B, and C bentonites were studied under laboratory conditions. The effects of adding different quality and different proportion of bentonite on falling strength, compression strength, and shock temperature of green pellet

Keywords: bentonite, pelletizing, iron ore concentrate, binder, sodium bicarbonate Introduction Major raw material in iron and steel industry is iron ore which can be classified as high grade and low grade in terms of its Fe content. High grade iron ores, which can directly be used in a blast furnace, are not abundant in earth’s crust to supply the need of iron and steel industry. The
The development of iron ore pelletizing using bentonite as a binder proved successful, and the technology was adopted on a wide scale by the iron ore industry. 1963 A number of large-scale taconite pelletizing plants had been developed in both the United States and Canada. The company negotiated a bentonite supply agreement with a large new pelletizing plant located
typical binder is bentonite or organic binder. Adding lime and/or dolomite to the ore adjusts the pellets to overcome radical changes in the characteristics of iron ore materials fed to the pelletizing plant, and to utilize various kinds of additives ; bentonite, hydrated lime and/or limestone. c) produce pellets of differing metallurgical characteristics. The single burner
When pelletizing iron ore, the addition of small amounts of Bentonite was the first binder used and is still employed today by most pellet plants. However, bentonite also has the disadvantage to introduce unwanted impurities like silica, alumina or even sulfur. It is worth noting that pellets with elevated levels of inpurities are valued lower in the market place. Fig. 3:
21/03/2015 Pelletizing is an agglomeration process which converts very fine grained iron ore into balls of a certain diameter range (normally 8mm to 20 mm, also known as pellets. These pellets are suitable for blast furnace and direct reduction processes. Pelletizing differs from sintering in that a green unbaked pellet or ball is formed and then hardened by heating.
