Read MoreIron Ore Formation. Iron formation consists of iron ore such as siderite, magnetite, and hematite, with silica in the form of chert, jasper, etc., generally in bands, but sometimes not distinctly so. The bands of iron ore are at times high-grade, but are often mixed with a good deal of silica, the whole making an ore too lean for use without ...

Read MoreIn the Midrex Linder test, a sized test portion of 500 g is reduced isothermally at 760 °C for 5 h in a reduction tube rotating at 10 rpm with a gas mixture of 55% H 2 + 36% CO + 5% CO 2 + 4% CH 4 flowing at 15 L/min. The reduced product is sieved at 6.3 and 3.36 mm and analyzed for total iron and metallic iron.
Read MoreIron ore pellets are a man-made iron-riched ore. The pellet production method was invented in Sweden in 1912, and then began to be used in the United States in 1946 by shaft furnace. It was originally developed primarily for the efficient use of taconite mines. Taconite ore only contains about 35% iron, and this low-grade iron ore can only …

Read MoreThese new factors have propelled the demand for higher grade concentrates, such as iron ore pellets (Wårrel, 2018). In the opposite direction to the current demand by steel producers is the gradual exhaustion of high-grade iron ore deposits, driving iron ore mining companies to exploit lower-grade, more disseminated and competent ores.
