USE OF PORE-FORMING ADDITIVES OF PLANT ORIGIN IN THE PRODUCTION OF IRON-CONTAINING PELLETIZED RAW MATERIALS

Abstract

Briquetting is one of the methods of agglomeration of metallurgical raw materials. This method is universal, it is applicable for small-tonnage production of briquettes [1]. When agglomerating industrial waste in briquettes, the original properties of the materials, their original mineralogical and chemical composition are preserved. The advantages of such production include small areas of the briquetting site, low cost of equipment, the possibility of implementing non-firing technology and processing sludge of a wide range of granulometric, mineral compositions and humidity, the possibility of processing near the source of formation. The briquetting process is characterized by environmentally friendly production, the possibility of forming a briquette structure with specified properties and the use of briquettes in the processes of direct reduction of iron and in other metallurgical processes.
