Iron ore pellets are spheres of typically 8–18 mm (0.31–0.71 in) to be used as raw material for blast furnaces. They typically contain 67%-72% Fe and various additional material adjusting the chemical composition and the metallurgic properties of the pellets. Typically limestone, dolostone and olivine is added and Bentonite is used as binder.

Blast furnace pellets made up 55% of sales value and DR pellets accounted for 26%. According to iron ore trade statistics, Sweden exported about 7 million tons of DR pellets in 2017, compared with 6.5 million tons in 2016. The breakdown of exports by country in 2017 is shown in Figure 5. The installed pellet capacity of LKAB is about 28 million
Iron ore pellets are commonly used as iron burden materials in blast furnaces. The pellets are small and hard iron ore balls. Their diameter is usually 10–16 mm. The pellets are hot-bonded in order to provide sufficient mechanical strength. A high iron content and a low gangue content is favourable for blast furnace pellets . Additives are

Use of agglomerates such as pellets and sinter in blast furnaces is increasing day by day to utilize fines and concentrates replacing lump ore. Reducibility mostly depends upon the individual ore character and its agglomeration
2020-4-10 Iron ore pellets are a commonly used raw material for iron production from the blast furnace route. Hence, commercially supplied iron ore pellets (olivine fluxed) were used in the present work. The chemical analysis with XRF (X-ray fluor-escence, Pananalytical, AxiosMax) of the raw pellets
Blast furnace (BF) has always been the dominant pro-ducing unit of pig iron, since it successfully satisfies those fundamental goals through generating the hot metals with maximal plant availability, minimal fuel rate, consistent quality, and least costs.1) Cohesive zone (CZ) in the infe-rior BF part is a region where iron ore starts softening and
Malcolm Tatum Man with a drill . Iron ore pellets are tiny spheres or pellets that are constructed by combining iron ore with other products in order to create materials that are easy to transport. The range of additional ingredients used in the pellets will vary, although it is not unusual for each pellet to contain some type of clay or limestone, as well as elements such as dolostone and
