Abstract: A pellet including C-grade iron fines and a binder; a method of producing said pellet, including mixing the C-grade iron fines and the binder to form a mixture and agglomerating the mixture to form a pellet; and a method of producing steel, including heating a pellet including C-grade iron fines and a binder in an electric arc furnace are all provided.
Abstract: The application describes pellets comprising particulate iron ore and between 0.05 and 1.0% by weight of an organic binder. The use of such pellets in electric arc furnaces to produce steel is also described.
Abstract: A binder formulation for iron ore pellets, the formulation comprising one or more silicates and a processing aid, a pellet comprising this binder formulation and a process for producing iron ore pellets comprising mixing a binder formulation as described with particulate iron ore and forming pellets.
