Traveling grate pelletizing plant is an induration technology for iron ore pellet production for a wide range of plant capacities.
Iron ore pellets are the main feedstock in ironmaking processes. While extensive research has addressed numerical modeling of the iron ore pellet induration process, little effort has been made to describe the intricate thermochemical processes occurring within the reactor starting from the pellet and particularly at the intra-particle …
Feng et al. [9] also developed a mathematical model for the drying and preheating phenomena of iron ore pellets in a traveling grate based on mass, momentum and heat transfer laws, and semi ...
This is the process of converting iron ore fines into 'uniformed sized iron ore pellets' which can be charged directly into a blast furnace or into a vertical furnace or rotary kiln normally used for the production of direct reduced iron (DRI). Typically, limestone, dolomite and olivine are added and Bentonite is used as binder.
low-grade ore, instability of supply, and complicated com-positions of iron ore. Nowadays, the technology is widely used in China. In modeling of complete GKC furnaces [1-4]or particu-lar sections [5-6], a lot of pioneers established and devel-oped the drying and preheating process models of iron ore pellets induration.
The drying and preheating process plays a crucial role in the induration of iron ore pellets. It is conducted on a closed, moving bed in both the straight grate and grate-kiln processes.
pellet feed product can deliver the BSA within the needs required for pelletizing, but the size fraction <45 μm% are much more sensitive to process variations [9].
