Microstructure of Bentonite in Iron Ore Green Pellets
The microstructure of bentonite in wet and dry iron ore pellets, as well as in distilled water, was imaged by various imaging techniques (e.g., imaging at low voltage with monochromatic and decelerated beam or low loss backscattered electrons) and cryogenic methods (i.e., high pressure freezing and plunge freezing in liquid ethane).
Effect of binders on reduction degree of iron ore pellets
The highest swelling occurs (25–26%) at a certain time, for both case pellets using bentonite and PA binders it is about 45 min soak time. After this time, a decrease in the volume of reduced iron ore pellets was observed as reduction time increases. The pellets were reduced at 1000 °C have undergone shrinkage because of high heat intensity.
Advances in Alternative Binders for Iron Ore Pellets
Starch has shown promise as a potential replacement binder for bentonite; other alternatives such as fly-ash have also been considered. Starches with solubilities ranging from 7.5-60% have been ...
Effect of Bentonite on the Pelleting Properties of Iron Concentrate
In this study, pellets were made from iron ores of Ramallakota and Veldurthi mines, Andhra Pradesh, by the addition of 1.5 to 4.5 wt.% of bentonite and molasses binders. Dried iron ore pellets ...
[PDF] Effect of molasses binder on the physical and …
Molasses was used as an alternative binder to the bentonite binder. The change in moisture absorption by pellets prepared with different iron ores and different molasses contents were investigated. Iron ore properties exerted the major effect on pellet behavior and final pellet quality. The absorbed moisture content of pellets prepared without …
