Studying the Sintering Behavior of Oxidized Magnetite Pellet During Induration

Pelletization is by far the leading agglomeration technique practiced in Sweden and also across the world for magnetite fines. Magnetite pelletization provides an added advantage in terms of energy generated from exothermic nature of magnetite oxidation. Swedish steel industries pioneered in operating their blast furnaces with cent percent pellets. This makes it necessary to understand the entire process of pelletization, where green pellets are strengthened through heat hardening process known as induration for subsequent use in iron making units such as blast furnace and direct reduced iron processes.Godkänd; 2015; 20150507 (kamsan)
