Figure 1 Green-ball growth during iron ore agglomeration. Individual iron ore particles are wetted, and pellet 'seeds' are nucleated. During agitation in the rotating drum or disc, small seeds can grow by consolidation of individual granules and layering of new feed material (Iveson et al 2001).

Agglomeration is the formation of aggregate by the sticking together of feed and/or recycle materials, and it includes the formation of agglomerate nuclei. The main objective in agglomerating fines being the conversion of ores, minerals and chemicals of undesirable fineness into agglomerates characterised by a size consistency desirable for …

Low-grade iron ores are finely ground and processed to recover iron-bearing minerals. However, the iron-rich powder is too fine to be used directly in blast furnaces and most direct reduction furnaces, and must be agglomerated or pelletized into a usable product called "pellets." Bentonite clay has traditionally been used as a binder to make …

Essentially, sintering is a hot agglomeration process whereby the granulated ore is reconstituted into lumps of ore of the right size and consistency for subsequent processing. A recent trend, brought on by changed steel-making techniques^ and a need to exploit finely desseminated ore deposits, is to use finely ground iron ore and reconstitute ...
