FLOFORM ™ Iron Ore Pelletization

FLOFORM™ Iron Ore Pelletization FLOFORM™, an alternative Traditionally bentonite is used as binder, but it reintroduces deleterious elements such as silica and alumina. FLOFORM is typically dosed at 0.01-0.05% prior to balling, i.e. about 1/20th of Bentonite. Depending on the quality of iron ore, a dual binder system comprising both

Iron Ore Pelletization: Part I. Fundamentals

ABSTRACT The behavior of iron ore pellet binders is complex. Any pellet binder is subject to a handful of practical requirements: that it be readily dispersed through a pellet, that it effectively controls the movement of water within the pellet, and that it contributes to the inter-particle bonding within the pellet. Meeting these requirements …
