METHOD OF PRODUCING IRON-ORE PELLETS

Green (nonfired) pellets of iron ore are prepared by pelletizing the iron ore and 2 to 8 percent by weight of finely divided metallic iron with a particle size below 45 microns in the presence of an aqueous solution, suspension or dispersion of an organic binder, preferably a carbonhydrate.

Zusammenfassung:Green (nonfired) pellets of iron ore are prepared by pelletizing the iron ore and 2 to 8 percent by weight of finely divided metallic iron with a particle size below 45 microns in the presence of an aqueous solution, suspension or dispersion of an organic binder, preferably a carbonhydrate. Surprisingly, the low-temperature binder, i.e. the starch, dextrine or the like, in combination with the metallic iron powder, affords considerable structural integrity to the pellets during the initial and subsequent stages of the direct reduction in a shaft-type or rotary furnace.
