Low Grade Iron Ore Beneficiation and Pelletizing Plants
Iron ores can be classified in different ways. The most important
has to do with the iron content. In many cases, ore with a total
iron content of 60% to 63%, or greater, is regarded as high grade,
and ore with a lower iron content is regarded as low grade. Ores
are also classified as follows, according to their size and the
processing method.
Low Grade Iron Ore Beneficiation and Pelletizing Plants General
Process
- Lump: Ore lumps have diameters of approximately 10mm to 40mm and
are charged as-is into a blast furnace or into a direct reduction
furnace.
- Fine: Ore fines have diameters of approximately 0.15mm to 10mm
and are agglomerated by a sintering plant before being charged into
a blast furnace.
- Pellet feed: Pellet feeds have diameters smaller than
approximately 0.15mm and are agglomerated by a pelletizing plant
before being charged into a blast furnace or into a direct
reduction furnace.
- Concentrate: Concentrate is ore upgraded by a beneficiation
process.
- Sintered ore: Sintered ore is ore agglomerated by a sintering
plant.
- Pellet: Pellet is ore agglomerated by a pelletizing plant
