As known, in order to produce green pellets, bentonite binder (< 1 wt%) and moisture (89 wt%) is added to the iron ore concentrates powder with particle size of less than 45 microns. Then, the mixture of raw materials is transformed into the 916 mm diameter green pellet by balling disk [ 5 ].

For this reason, these longterm tests may not reflect the true behavior of bentonite during iron ore pelletization. Third, the tests are

Pellet ore not only has excellent metallurgical and mechanical properties, but is also an important metallurgical raw material used to solve the problem of increasing depletion of global highgrade iron ore resources. Bentonite has long been widely used in pellet ore production, which is not only expensive but also causes serious metallurgical pollution. Organic binders can form stronger ...

The goals stemming from the final reduction process are drawn back through the pelletization process to present a clear rationale for why each material can be used to control the pellet quality. Major inorganic binders such as bentonite, colemanite, and lime are examined along with less commonly used alternatives.

fine concentrate. The most commonly employed one is pelletizing in iron ore industry. In pelletizing, iron ore, water and a binder are balled in a mechanical disc or drum to produce agglomerates. Bentonite is the most widely used binder. However, it is considered as an impurity due to its high SiO 2 and Al 2O 3 content. Many researchers have ...

In the production of iron ore concentrate pellets, binders are required to improve pellet green strength. The most popular binder for this purpose is bentonite clay, which is added at a rate of approximately % by weight of moist concentrate. Bentonite is a significant cost item in iron ore pelletization, and also contributes undesirable amounts of silica to the finished pellets.

Yet, bentonite does not undergo any such chemical reactions within pellets. Instead, bentonite physically binds to iron ore particles. Bentonite additionally controls excess water within the pellet. Sodium bentonite in particular can absorb around 900% PWA, allowing pelletization moistures to remain considerably more consistent than without binder.

Historically, bentonite has been used in the agglomeration process in North American iron ore plants. In 1986, Eveleth Mines replaced bentonite with Peridur, a carboxy methyl cellulose organic binder used in conjunction with 1% limestone. Since May of 1993, Allied Colloids` Alcotac FE8 has been used by Eveleth as the replacement for bentonite.

Molasses was used as an alternative binder to the bentonite binder. The change in moisture absorption by pellets prepared with different iron ores and different molasses contents were investigated. Iron ore properties exerted the major effect on pellet behavior and final pellet quality. The absorbed moisture content of pellets prepared without binder, bentoniteadded pellets, and molasses ...

Bentonite is a significant cost item in iron ore pelletization, and also contributes undesirable amounts of silica to the finished pellets. If the binding effectiveness of bentonite is increased, it will be possible to reduce the bentonite dosage, resulting in significant cost savings while producing higher quality, lower silica pellets.
