The study was carried out in a 4-m tonne iron ore pelletizing industry located in Odisha, India from March to December 2015. The pellet plant used travelling grate technology to convert low grade fines into value-added pellets. The slurry was received at the pellet plant from the beneficiation plant through a 220-km pipe line.

It is one of the company's leading sources of iron ore for operations in the United States. Iron ore is a major raw material required in the manufacturing of steel. Iron-bearing pellets are shipped to Cleveland-Cliffs' Indiana Harbor facility in East Chicago, Indiana. In 2019, Minorca supplied about 50% of Indiana Harbor's No. 7 blast ...

 — 1.1.3.2.2 Pellets1.1.3.2.2.1 Pelletizing Process. Similar to sintering, pelletizing is another widely used process to agglomerate the iron ore. Sinter plants are usually located near the blast furnace plant, but pelletizing plants are often located near the mining site. Some works have both pelletizing and sintering plants at the smelter sites.

 — Manufacturers have already begun to focus on sinter as the focus to start cutting emissions, and pelletized iron ore offers an innovative solution. Pellets reduce the amount of coking coal required and improve furnace productivity, reducing CO 2 emissions in the process. By replacing sinter with high-grade pellets, traditional sintering can be ...

 — These can only be produced in an economically viable way with modern pelletizing discs. What equipment is needed to prepare the material for the pelletizing process? To enrich the iron ore, it is necessary to comminute the ore to the flotation fineness and to feed it to sorting processes such as magnetic separation and flotation. ...

 — The main unit operations of pelletizing process are grinding, filtering, pressing, pelletizing and firing. Grinding, the first operation in the process, is a crucial step for the subsequent ...
