Since, bentonite is aluminum-silicate clay; it adds SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 to iron ore concentrate which is the product of an enrichment process for the removal of these impurities. In iron ore pelletization, addition of 1% bentonite decreases the iron content by about 7 kg/ton of iron product [5] .
Bentonite is an essential binder in the iron ore pelletization process. However, limited research has been conducted on the correlation between the physical …
Organic binders as alternatives to bentonite in iron ore pelletisation have found limited application since they fail to give enough mechanical strength to preheated and fired pellets. This paper describes the use of alternative binders to bentonite for haematite ore pelletisation. ... Grinding and liberation process leaves the iron ore in a ...
Bentonite causes a severe decrease in total iron grades (TFe) of pellets, requiring effective organic binders urgently to reduce its dosage in pelletizing. However, …
The replacement of bentonite as the standard iron ore binder is an important factor in the future of iron processing. Bentonite adds unwanted silica to the final concentrated iron ore product.
The present paper aims at evaluating the use of serpentinite instead of bentonite. The results obtained show that the full substitution of bentonite for serpentinite is unfeasible. However a potential does exist for using serpentinite and bentonite together in the iron ore palletizing process in the proportion of 1:1.
The raw materials were dried at 120 °C for 24 h in a forced-air drying cabinet, followed by ball milling of the iron ore and anthracite. The size distribution characteristics of the raw materials after crushing are presented in Table 3.It can be clearly seen that both iron ore concentrate and anthracite powder exhibit a wide range of …
Bentonite is the most used binder in iron ore pelletization (Lu, et al., 2018). Bentonite is a clay mineral that consists mostly of silica (~65%) and alumina (~20 %) (Devasahayam, 2018).
The pelletization process can convert the iron ore fines (<150 µm) to improved feed material for blast furnaces. The process involves two steps, the "green pellets" …

Iron ore agglomeration is a wet process, where particles are held together by the surface tension and capillary forces when wet, they will fall apart upon drying unless binders are present.
Instead, bentonite physically binds to iron ore particles. Bentonite additionally controls excess water within the pellet. Sodium bentonite in particular can …
The majority of iron ores must be ground to a fine particle size to allow the iron oxides they contain to be concentrated, and the concentrate must then be agglomerated back into large enough particles that they can be processed in blast furnaces. The most common agglomeration technique is pelletization, which requires the use of …
Iron ore concentration typically involves comminution, separation, and agglomeration. ... The contributions of binders such as bentonite, starch, cements, dispersants, fluxes, and other additives which have been used in pellets are discussed with particular emphasis on how these effects paint a coherent picture of the pelletization …
Bentonite, as the main binder for pellets, cannot undergo thermal decomposition during the smelting process and mostly remains in the pellets, leading to a decrease in the iron grade of the ...
The taconite ore processing industry produces usable concentrations of iron-bearing material by removing nonferrous rock (gangue) from low-grade ore. The six-digit Source Classification Code (SCC) for taconite ore processing is 3-03-023. Table 11.23-1 lists the SCCs for taconite ore processing. Taconite is a hard, banded, low-grade ore, and is ...
To improve the ballability of iron concentrates and enhance the performance of green balls and dry pellets in the production of iron ore pelletizing, the bentonite was …
1. Introduction. The pelletizing process has emerged as a crucial method for producing charge in blast furnaces due to low energy consumption and minimal pollutant emissions [1, 2].In recent years, due to stricter environmental regulations and increased demand for high-quality raw materials by blast furnaces, the development of pellets has …
Organic binders have been used as an attractive alternative to bentonite in iron ore pelletizing process, mainly because it burns without leaving any residue in the final pellet. There are two main types of organic binders, those based on cellulose compounds and other based on polyacrylamide polymers. Table 3 shows some patents from chemical ...
Ferrous metallurgy, in particular the process of pelletizing iron ore concentrates, is one of the main consumers of bentonite clays. The problem with the bentonite binder is well known, and is the increase in silica content (the main harmful impurity) in the roasted pellets as a result of its use. This predetermines long-term …
Since the purpose of iron ore processing is to remove silicate minerals from the ore, adding silicates back in the form of a binder is counterproductive. ...

In iron ore pelletizing Imerys bentonite is used as a binder for the formation of iron ore pellets. Pellets are balls produced from iron ore or concentrates and are used as feed material for iron making. Imerys bentonite adds significant value to the pelletizing process and the quality of the final product.
The contributions of binders such as bentonite, starch, cements, dispersants, fluxes, and other additives which have been used in pellets are discussed …
