Tumble Strength (TS) of iron ore sinter, affected by numerous factors, is considered as a vital
performance to assess sinter quality for blast furnace (BF) iron-making. For the sake of …

Due to the detrimental impact of steel industry emissions on the environment, countries
worldwide prioritize green development. Replacing sintered iron ore with pellets holds …

Pelletization of iron ore fines is an important step in an integrated steel plant. It essentially
involves balling of fine powders on a rotating disk or drum to produce wet pellets and …

Numerical simulations based on the discrete element method (DEM) were conducted to
study the die compaction of iron ore fines and the mechanical strength of formed compacts …

This paper aims to develop sintering indexes to evaluate and correlate the sintering degree
and compressive strength in pellets. Based on image processing techniques by using the …

The behaviors of highly fluxed (basicity 2, 4, 6, and 8) iron ore pellets heat hardened in the
temperature range 1100° C to 1200° C were examined and are reported here. The highly …

Thermal state of iron ore pellets in industrial traveling grate–rotary kiln process cannot be
revealed straightforward, which is unfavorable for field operations. In this study, coupled …

Many models of iron ore pellet induration have been developed on the basis of the first law
of thermodynamics. However, the exergy analysis, well grounded on the first and second …

Multi-objective optimization of any complex industrial process using first principle
computationally expensive models often demands a substantially higher computation time …

The effect of alumina occurrence form on the metallurgical properties of both hematite and
magnetite pellets was investigated at the same Al2O3 level of 2 wt.%, including reduction …
