Pelletization is an agglomeration process of iron ore concentrates with a granulometry lower than 150 μm and low concentration of impurities [10,11].
Low-grade iron ores are finely ground and processed to recover iron-bearing minerals. However, the iron-rich powder is too fine to be used directly in blast furnaces and most direct reduction furnaces, and must be agglomerated or pelletized into a usable product called "pellets." Bentonite clay has traditionally been used as a binder to make iron ore concentrate …

Iron ore is the basic raw material for iron and steel production. Around 98% of the total domestic consumption of iron ore is by the Iron and steel industries. Iron ore is most often found in the forms of hematite and magnetite. All the present-day production comes from hematite reserves due to its high-grade quality and lumpy nature.
The use of pellet feed to adjust the chemical quality of the sinter is an alternative to the depletion of iron ore reserves. However, the addition of ultrafine in the sintering process can cause decrease of permeability and consequent drop in machine productivity. In this context, the present work investigated the addition of natural and ground pellet feed, evaluating its effects …

Until the 1950s of the last century, the oxidized iron ores that were loaded into the blast furnace had granulometries within 10 and 120 mm. However, the depletion of high-grade iron ore sources has made necessary the utilization of concentration processes with the purpose of enriching the iron ore. Because of these processes, a fine granulometry is produced, and thus iron …
