The binder functions, usually bentonite, are to promote and ease the formation of the raw pellets during the pelletizing operation; to give the raw pellets the conditions needed to resist transportation and handling that follow the unloading from the palletizing disc up to the indurating furnace; to optimize the dry and wet strength of the raw ...
Pellets plants based on rich iron ore fines are rare and not very economical. The entire pelletizing process can be divided into two main segments of sub processes namely (i) the segment of the cold sub processes and (ii) the segment of the hot sub processes. ... Wet agglomerates can exist in a number of different states depending on the amount ...
Sodium bentonite is selected for this application because it exhibits an incredible dry strength and is necessary in only a very small amount.¹. Foundry Sands. As with iron ore pelletizing, bentonite also serves as a binder in the foundry sands industry, playing a critical role in producing moulds that will yield cast products of the desired ...
The effects of adding different quality and different proportion of bentonite on falling strength, compression strength, and shock temperature of green pellet were investigated.
The role of bentonite in iron pelletizing is to impart strength and plasticity in green pellets, to control their size structure and shape and thus to affect considerably the productivity of the …

ArcelorMittal (Beaudin and Lucena, 2013) has been testing the substitution of bentonite with organic binders since the beginning of the 1990s for reducing the silica content of its direct reduction (DR) pellets.A full-scale plant trial of the substitution of a specific organic binder for bentonite was conducted in the company's straight grate pellet plant in Quebec, which …
The wet green pellets are then dried and sintered in the pelletizing machine. A narrow size distribution in green pellets is an important criterion for the pellet quality, because high permeability in the pellet bed is beneficial for both the pellet production process and the subsequent reduction process in steelmaking.
Iron ore pelletization is a critical aspect of the steel manufacturing process, providing a method to utilize fine iron ore particles and beneficiate lower grade ores, which enhances the overall output and efficiency of steel production processes.
