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 …
A description of the effect of process variables on the drum agglomeration kinetic behaviour of this same nickel laterite ore has been reported by Nosrati et al. (2012). Robertson and van Staden ...

Abstract and Figures. This article reviews agglomeration practices for precious metal and copper heap leaching. Both industries prefer drum to conveyor agglomeration, particularly for clayey ore ...
Other types of agglomeration effects (i.e., other foreign hotel activities and local hotel activities) were also included as control variables. International hotels are more attracted by a location that has high flexibility and low restrictions on foreign companies (Assaf et al., 2015). As a part of foreign companies, the same-country-of-origin ...
The PSD of ore agglomeration could be roughly divided into three types: uniform graded size, well graded size and gap graded size. This compaction behavior of …
The present paper aims to deliver the recent trends in the crushed ore agglomeration of copper, nickel, gold and uranium ores. The industrial agglomeration practice for copper and precious metal ores, type and size of agglomeration equipment (Bouffard, 2005, Moats and Janwong, 2008), drums (design, selection and power …
Briquetting is the simplest agglomeration process. Fine grained iron ore is pressed into two pockets with the addition ofwater orsome other binder agent (molasses, starch, ortar pitch) to form briquettes [8]. A traditional application is the agglomeration of coal [8], other example is the agglomeration of ultrafine oxidized dust produced in the ...
The most common agglomeration technique is pelletization, which requires the use of binders to hold the iron oxide grains together so that the agglomerates can be sintered into high-strength pellets. ... This article reviews the numerous types of binders (both organic and inorganic) that have been considered for iron ore pelletization ...
The iron ore production has significantly expanded in recent years, owing to increasing steel demands in developing countries. However, the content of iron in ore deposits has deteriorated and low-grade iron ore has been processed. The fines resulting from the concentration process must be agglomerated for use in iron and steelmaking. …
Five iron ore agglomeration technologies can be defined: briquetting, nodulization, extrusion, pelletization and sintering. Sintering and pelletization are the most important …
The agglomeration of nickel laterite ore ... The lateritic nickeliferous iron ore deposits of Central and Northern Greece (Euboea, Locris, Boetia, and Kastoria) provide the feed material for the production of an iron-nickel alloy at a pyro-metallurgical plant located in Larymna. Due to the low quality of the feed ore, about 0.90-1.00 % nickel ...
The ore type of adhering fines and substrates affected the penetration and assimilation ability of the initial melt, but a good formation ability and fluidity of initial melt was the basis of good penetration and assimilation ability. Based on the micro and macro sinter structure, the high temperature characteristics were further related to the ...
The experimental agglomeration refers to the procedure of using chemical binders to adsorb and bond crushed ores and fine powders to form wellshaped agglomerations (WAs), which could obviously ...
The chemical binder is one of the critical factors affecting ore agglomeration behavior and leaching efficiency. In this study, we investigated the effect of the type of binder and mass fraction of the H 2 SO 4 solution used on the curing, soaking, and leaching behavior of agglomerations. The results revealed that Portland cement (3CaO·SiO 2, …
Agglomeration with modified cement may provide a novel, cost-effective method for the treatment of low-permeability ores in acid medium (e.g. copper, uranium and nickel), since cement agglomeration has only been applied commercially in alkali medium (e.g. cyanide solutions for gold ores) to date. Desliming is less attractive due to the high ...
The objective of iron ore agglomeration is to generate a suitable product of granules in terms of thermal, mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. ... Agglomeration processes are typically of three …
This book focuses on agglomeration, or the size enlargement process, of iron ores. This process sits at the interface of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. The book begins with a discussion of raw materials preparation and the beneficiation process. It then describes fundamental principles of the sintering and pelletization …
The mechanisms of agglomeration and defluidization and fluidization characteristic of iron oxide particles were investigated based on the theory of surface diffusion, interface reaction, surface nano/microeffect, and phase transformation. Moreover, a mathematical model was developed to predict the high-temperature defluidization …

In this study, the effect of binder type/composition and dosage, drum speed, temperature and batch time on drum agglomeration behavior of siliceous goethite (SG) Ni laterite ore was investigated.
5) BEHAVIOUR OF ORES IN REDUCTION AND AGGLOMERATION PROCESSES Many types of characteristics are used to analyse the intrinsic quality of iron ore fines employed in sintering and pelletizing processes as such chemical composition, granulometric parameters, specific surface, porosity, cold agglomeration capacity, etc as well as …
An effective leaching step is critical to SX-EW, as it sets the stage for how much copper can be recovered. For this reason, the heap leaching step is commonly preceded by agglomeration of the ore in a rotary drum agglomerator. This offers significant benefits, ultimately yielding improved recovery rates. Agglomeration greatly improves the ...
Iron Ore Agglomeration Technologies. 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.
Agglomeration of iron ores is the iron ore pre-treatment process in which the powdery iron ore that cannot be directly fed into a blast furnace experiences high-temperature …
