Considering furnace clogging due to excessive fine dust, palletisation is the only feasible option for its utilisation. Advanced techniques, such as magnetisation roasting of lean iron ores, are implemented by roasting in a rotary kiln, shaft furnace, fluidised bed roasting, and microwave-assist roasting, as reported by [[7], [8], [9], [10]].

DRI production. Direct reduction of iron is the removal of oxygen from iron ore or other iron bearing materials in the solid state, i.e. without melting, as in the blast furnace. The reducing agents are carbon monoxide and hydrogen, coming from reformed natural gas, syngas or coal. Iron ore is used mostly in pellet and/or lumpy form.

Pellets discharge at about 370 deg C, and the top gas temperature is around 200 deg C. Typical furnace capacities are 1000 to 2000 tons per day. Shaft furnaces are more energy efficient than the traveling grate or grate-kiln systems. The shaft furnace is well suited for pelletizing magnetite, but not hematitic or limonitic ore materials.
