Pelletizing iron ore. Sodium bentonite is used to pelletize iron ore (Devaney, 1956). Finely pulverized iron ore concentrates are pelletized into marble-sized spheres about 2.5 cm in diameter for ease of handling and shipping and to produce a superior furnace feed. The sodium bentonite constitutes about 0.5 wt.% of the pelletized ore. The ...

The Blaine number (cm2/g) of the fines is an essential parameter in defining the quality of the pellets. The Blaine number of the fines influences the overall reactivity, porosity, and agglomeration capability of pellets. Pal J et al. have studied the quality of the pellets for different sizes of iron ore fines in terms of Blaine number [14].

Bentonite is commonly used in pelletting of iron ore. Bentonite plays an important role in using degradable iron ores with low grades upon pelleting. While activated calcium bentonites swell about 5-6 times of their volume, Sodium bentonites can swell up to 25-30 times. Swelling is directly influenced by the Enslin value required for the pellet.

The higher reduction rate for organic binders, as compared with bentonite, was probably related to pellet porosity. The open pore porosity, as measured with a mercury porosimeter, was over 23 pct for pellets made with 0.1 pct organic binder but was only 22 pct for pellets made with 1 pct bentonite (table 4).
