Effect of Iron Ore Pellet Size on Metallurgical Properties

Iron ore pellets are small and hard spherical particles agglomerated from a fine iron ore concentrate. They are used in the blast furnace process to produce hot metal. The diameter of blast furnace pellets is usually between 8 and 16 mm. In this study, a batch of magnesia iron ore pellets was first sieved into particle sizes of 8–10 mm, 10–12.7 mm, 12.7–16 …

Reduction of Iron Ore Pellets: A Microstructural Perspective?

Twenty different iron ore pellets, consisting primarily of Hematite (Fe2O3) phase, were subjected to 'simulated' reduction studies. A wide range of reduction time periods, Rt of 122 to 211 minutes, were obtained. Detailed microstructural characterizations were then conducted at different locations of ten selected specimens. The Rt did not relate with initial phase mix or …
