Organic binders are often desired when making low-silica iron ore pellets. Corn and wheat are grown in large quantities near certain iron ore pelletizing facilities and their starches are easily modified to form cold-water-soluble powders that can be used as binders. We investigated how starch cold-water solubility, starch dose, starch hydration time, green ball moisture content, and firing temperature affected pellet quality. With a fluxed, hematite concentrate, the high-soluble starch led to good wet and dry balls, but weak and friable indurated pellets compared to the standard binder, bentonite clay. As expected, the low-soluble starch did not make as good green balls as the high-soluble starch. Thermogravimetric analyses of unfired pellets and their abrasion products showed that modified starch was inhomogeneously distributed in pellets, with a high concentration near the ball surfaces. The surface concentration increased, and the core concentration decreased, as pellets grew during the pelletizing process. This suggests that starch enrichment near surfaces is a consequence of the agglomeration–compaction process, and may occur with other pelletizing binders. Abrasion mass losses were 81% greater with modified starch than with bentonite at 1100°C, and 31% greater at 1250°C. However, starch contents near the surfaces did not qualitatively correlate to roughness, as the highest starch dose tested gave the smoothest and least dusty pellets. 相似文献

Plate water absorption has been traditionally used to assess the binding ability of bentonite clay binders for iron ore concentrate pelletization. Until 1997, there was an accepted test by ASTM, but due to inconstant data this method was withdrawn. This value, however, is still used by some pelletization operations to gauge the efficacy of their bentonite. This test procedure has only been investigated on inorganic binders and never organic binders. This paper seeks to confidently prove that PWA can be used to accurately determine the efficacy of starch binders both alone and in conjunction with bentonite. The role of bentonite as a binder for iron ore concentrate is not only to hold agglomerates together during high temperature operations. But during pelletization it can also mitigate many times its own weight in water. This water absorption capacity aids in retarding the growth rate of pellets, as faster growing pellets tend to be weaker. The value of this water absorption, known as plate water absorption (PWA), is used as a metric to determine the strength and quality of the resulting pellets by industrial pelletizing facilities. As new low silica binders seek to replace bentonite, they too must take on the role of moisture mitigation. This study has shown that starches with lower water absorption capacities tend to have lower compressive strengths. As the water absorption capacity increases so too does the compressive strength. When using only starch, higher absorption capacities lead to lower compressive strengths of pellets exposed to elevated temperatures. When bentonite is used in conjunction with starch, higher water absorption mixtures do exhibit an increase in strength when heated. 相似文献

The performance of floc magnetic separation (FMS) has been compared with wet high-intensity magnetic separator (WHIMS). This study was performed on low-grade iron ore slime contained 59.58% Fe with 4.57% silica and 3.78% alumina. Detailed characterization data indicated that a substantial amount of the slime was below 20 µm in size. Beneficiation studies indicated that the FMS process is effective to recover fine hematite and goethite particles, compared with the conventional magnetic separation. In conventional magnetic separation, the extent of the fluid drag force exceeds the magnetic force exerted on ultrafine particles. Thus, ultrafine magnetic particles were usually not recovered effectively by magnetic separators, resulting in the loss of valuable ultrafine slime particles. The FMS process significantly increases the magnetic force on the ultrafine iron ore in the form of hydrophobic flocs in a magnetic field, thus the ultrafine particles can be picked up effectively as magnetic concentrates. The FMS process improved the Fe recovery from 37.35% to 79.60%. 相似文献

Brazil is the second-largest producer of iron ore in the world. Brazilian richer superficial deposits are composed of brittle material with fine texture and significant amounts of fines are generated during mining and transport. Another type of ore found in this country is the itabirites that have lower iron contents. Beneficiation and concentration steps are required to prepare these materials for the pelletizing process. A general view of Brazilian types of iron ores, mines, and mining companies is given in this work. Special attention is given to pelletizing and the influence of mineralogical characteristics of different ores on the production and final properties of iron ore pellets. 相似文献

为了获得低成本、质量好的球团矿产品,以两种铁精矿粉(低铁高硅磁铁矿和高铁低硅磁铁矿)和一种膨润土为原料,以生球落下强度、抗压强度以及焙烧后成品球团抗压强度为评价指标,在相同造球工艺和膨润土加入量的条件下,研究两种质量不同的铁精矿混合配料造球对球团性能的影响。研究表明,随着低铁高硅矿配比的增加,生球落下强度、抗压强度以及焙烧后成品球团抗压强度均随之降低。通过优化配矿,当低铁高硅矿配比达40%时,生球的落下强度达到3次以上,抗压强度达20N以上,焙烧后抗压强度为3850N,完全满足生产要求。 相似文献

Bentonite is a predominant binder used in iron ore pelletization. However, the presence of a high content of silica and alumina in bentonite is considered undesirable for ironmaking operations. The objective of this study was to identify the alternatives of bentonite for iron ore pelletization. To achieve this goal, different types of organic and inorganic binders were utilized to produce iron oxide pellets. The quality of these iron oxide pellets was compared with pellets made using bentonite. All pellets were tested for physical strength at different stages of pelletization to determine their ability to survive during shipping and handling. The results show that organic binders such as lactose monohydrate, hemicellulose, and sodium lignosulfonate can provide sufficient strength to indurated pellets. 相似文献

AbstractUltrafine iron oxide wastes such as slime, blue dust and Linz–Donawitz (LD) converter sludge have very limited use in sintering of iron ore due to their excessive fineness (?50 μm). Pelletisation of these ultrafine materials for use in blast furnace involves high temperature curing, which is a highly energy intensive process. Briquetting of LD sludge requires costly binders and contains high moisture, which creates problem at high temperature of the downstream process. In order to alleviate these problems, the current study has developed a process for preparing micropellets of waste iron oxide fines (2–6 mm size) without using any binder. The strength of the micropellet has been increased by a novel CO2 treatment process at room temperature. Developed micropellets exhibit very suitable drop strength (125 Nos), tumbler properties and cold compressive strength (~9 kg/pellet) to withstand cold handling. Low lime containing micropellets have the possibility of being used as a mixed material in usual sinter making, and high lime containing micropellets may be exploited for making super fluxed sinter that can be used as synthetic flux in the basic oxygen furnace process towards the formation of low melting oxidising slag at the early stage of blow. 相似文献

We show how pelletizing additives affect the zeta potential, sedimentation and agglomeration behavior of a hematitic iron ore concentrate. When the additives stabilized the particle–water system—indicated by higher zeta potential, higher total suspended solids content and denser settled sludge—pellet strength increased and dustiness decreased. Conversely, when the additives destabilized the particle-water system—indicated by lower zeta potential, lower total suspended solids content and rarer settled sludge—pellets became weaker and dustier. Specifically, our results show that problems related to starch binders can be resolved using carefully selected dispersants, and starch-dispersant mixtures are better pellet binders than starch alone.
In general, our results suggest that sedimentation and zeta potential tests may be effective techniques for understanding pellet–water–binder systems; organic dispersants are good alternatives to bentonite for making low-silica binders; and understanding surface properties and water chemistry of the balling feed is necessary to understand its agglomeration behavior. We believe that understanding the interactions between the balling feed minerals, pore water, and binder will become more important as balling feeds become finer and process waters more complex. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe current beneficiation study examines the potential for separating ultrafine low-grade iron ore materials using a circulating-type air classifier. Statistical analysis using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was implemented for optimization of the separator critical processing parameters to achieve sharp separation at a cut size as fine as 20–38 µm. Results demonstrated that it was possible to achieve a separation of about 9.21% lean grade ultrafine content with a size cut of ~d50 20 µm through a single-stage application. 相似文献

Modified humic acid (MHA) binder consists of high molecular weight organic molecules and inorganic part. It is extracted from lignite coal with sodium hydroxide and used in pelletization of iron ore concentrates. Our previous study shows that MHA binder is also a potential binder instead of bentonite for pelletizing of fluxed hematite. For evaluating the use of MHA binder in pelletization of fluxed hematite, pelletizing tests were conducted to optimize parameters, such as dose, firing temperature and time. The results show that the qualities of green/dried balls with 0.6 wt% MHA binder are equal to or even better than that of 0.66 wt% bentonite pellets, and that both are much higher than the minimum requirements of the pellets’ strengths. The compression strength of fired pellets also suggested that MHA binder is promising to completely replace bentonite in pelletizing of fluxed hematite concentrate. However, the abrasion rate of the fired pellets with MHA binder is slightly higher than that of bentonite pellets. 相似文献

In steel industry and in mines, a significant amount of ultra-fines waste iron oxides and iron ore fines is generated. Utilizations of these fines are required to reduce the environmental hazards and conserve the natural resources. Some of these fines are normally used in sintering practice. However, sintering has a limitation of accepting ultra-fines materials. Pelletizing can use ultra-fine iron oxides. However, suitable technology is required for preparation of good quality pellets. Some of the fines, viz. blast furnace (BF) flue dust, Linz Donawitz (LD) converter sludge etc., are not suitable due to their high alkali and Zn content. Some other material like slime is not considered to be suitable in normal pelletizing practice, because of its high alumina and silica content and excessively fine size. On the other hand mill scale and blue dust have poor green bonding property. Therefore, suitable technologies are required to be developed for their utilization/recycling. This paper discusses the various technologies developed such as (i) developing flux for basic oxygen steelmaking process, (ii) improved pelletizing practice for better reducibility, lower reduction degradation and replacing bentonite binder, and (iii) special quality sinters for improving micro-fines utilization. These technologies may have very good application potential. 相似文献

Due to the reducing ability and bonding effect, a humic substance-based binder has been added into iron ore pellets, both as a reductant and a binder. However, humic substance-based binders were not commonly used in pelletization since some pelletizing results indicated they were not as good asbentonite or other binders. Thus, there were few detailed investigations using humic substance-based binders in pelletization before the 1980s. Funa, which is a type of humic substance-based binder extracted from lignite, was successfully invented and applied in cold-bonded pellets in China. Since the organic fraction in the humic substance-based binder is burnt away during heating, leaving no contaminant in pellets and improving the iron content of the pellets, humic substance-based binders were also gradually utilized in oxidized pellets. On the basis of Funa binder research, the extracting procedure of a humic substance-based binder was modified, and a composite binder named Modified Humic Acid (MHA)was prepared for oxidized pellets, especially for making Vanadium-Titanium (V-Ti) magnetite pellets, and achieved qualified V-Ti magnetite oxidized pellets in industrial testing. The behaviors of humic substance-based binders in wet balls, dry balls and fired balls were well investigated. Moreover, MHA binder was gradually tested in a lab for pelletization of several other types of iron ore concentrates, such as magnetite from different districts, specularite and fluxed hematite, and good quality pellets were obtained. A review of the development of a humic substance-based binder and its characteristics, preparing method, and behaviors in pelletizing were considered in this paper. 相似文献
