Thus, the reduction swelling behaviour of iron ore pellets should preferably be studied DYNAMICALLY under simulated blast furnace conditions to obtain the most realistic results.
الحصول على السعرSince the low shaft furnace was experimented in the early 1950's, attempts have been made to use iron ore with coal as a composite in order to gain from the possibility of eliminating the step of high temperature agglomeration. There have been partial successes but not commercialisation of process. Iron orecoal composites can be reduced
الحصول على السعرblast furnace process. The iron ore concentrate is now mixed and ready for the pelletizing process. Pelletizing A pellet plant contains a series of balling drums where the iron ore concentrate is formed into soft pellets, in much the same manner that one rolls a snowball, to make a pellet about the size of a marble (between 1/4" and 1/2").
الحصول على السعرThe shaft furnace can be considered as upper part of the blast furnace, working on a counter current principle. Raw materials (iron ore pellet ) charged from the top, undergoes abrasion and burden load moves downward towards discharge end through various thermal zones. Good pellet strength is necessary to withstand wear and tear during the ...
الحصول على السعرIn addition to mined iron ore, other sources of iron, such as flue dust collected from blast furnaces, or the dust produced at mine sites, is also frequently pelletized so it can be utilized, as opposed to disposed of. The Pelletizing Process. The production of iron ore pellets .
الحصول على السعرAdvantages of pelletisation Pellets are in high demand in the international markets, fetching a premium price, as they are ideal for blast furnace applications. When used in the rotary kiln, pellets reduce the iron ore requirement to tons per ton of sponge, reduce the travelling time and increase the sponge output by 2025%, reduce coal consumption by 1520% and improve the metallization ...

الحصول على السعرJul 11, 2007· A mathematical model is developed to investigate the reduction process of hematite in the reduction zone of the Midrex shaft furnace as a moving bed reactor. It is described as a countercurrent moving bed cylindrical reactor in which hematite pellets are reduced by a gaseous mixture of hydrogen ...
الحصول على السعرMar 29, 2018· In the present pelletizing apparatus, the induration of iron ore concentrate pellets is achieved in a tunnel furnace heated by plasma torches, wherein the generation of CO2 by the conventional iron ore pelletizing processes is reduced by using electricity powered plasma torches instead of burning natural gas, heavy oil or pulverized coal in burners, thereby reducing considerably .
الحصول على السعرDec 20, 2014· This shaft furnace operates on the basis of counter current principle. We must be aware about the counter current principle, where feed material of iron ore will move in downward direction inside the shaft furnace due to action of gravity and will be reduced due to movement of reducing gases in upward direction. There are some fundamental about ...
الحصول على السعرIron ore pellet is a kind of agglomerated fines which has better strength (expressed technically as 'tumbling index') as compared to that of parent ore and can be used as a substitute in blast furnaces in countries where lump ore is not available.
الحصول على السعرThe falling speed of iron ore pellets is m/s in DRI shaft furnace and the reduction gas quantity is 1445 Nm 3 /t with its temperature 1173 K. Fig. 2 shows the temperature change curves of reduction section at different times. It can be found that because of the gassolid heat transfer, half of the iron ore pellets are heated to 500 K
الحصول على السعرMost of the iron in the world is produced using a blast furnace process, which has iron ore (iron oxides) and coke as its raw materials. When pellets are used in a blast furnace, the iron burden material is charged in the form of pellets and fine, ironrich byproducts are charged typically in
الحصول على السعرDevelop methods of enhancing and measuring the hightemperature softening and melting properties of iron oxide pellets reduced under simulated blast furnace smelting conditions. Add dolomite and limestone flux and a lowcost organic binder, such as starch, carboxyl methylcellose (CMC), or waste papermill sludge, to the iron oxide concentrate to produce hematite (ferric oxide) pellets with ...
الحصول على السعرWHAT IS AN INDURATING FURNACE Indurating Furnacesare circular shaped furnaces like a Rotary Kiln and form a key part of one of the process routes for preparing iron ore fines for use in blast furnaces, and are specifically used to produce iron ore pellets. Raw or "green" pellets need to be baked to give them sufficient mechanical strength to
الحصول على السعرAug 21, 2015· The focus of this study is to simulate the furnace of the MIDREX technology. MIDREX technology which is the most important gasbased direct reduced iron (DRI) process in the world, includes reduction, transition and cooling zones. The reduction zone considered as a counter current gas–solid reactor produces sponge iron from iron ore pellets.
الحصول على السعرWe operate three iron ore mines located in Michigan and Minnesota produce various grades of iron ore pellets, including standard and fluxed, for use in blast furnaces. We are a minority, nonmanaging partner of Hibbing Taconite Company, also located in Minnesota.
