Agglomeration of Iron Ores cover

This book focuses on agglomeration, or the size enlargement process, of iron ores. This process sits at the interface of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. The book begins with a discussion of raw materials preparation and the beneficiation process. It then describes fundamental principles of the sintering and pelletization processes, including formation of green mix through granulation and green balls as well as chemical reactions during sintering. Finally, it offers a brief description of iron making processes and correlations related to the agglomerates: quality parameters and BF productivity and coke rate.

Agglomeration of Iron Ores covers in considerable detail both the sintering and pelletising of iron ore fines and concentrates that are generated along with lump ore in iron ore mines around the world, either naturally or after upgrading in a beneficiation process. The book is devoted to a detailed treatise of the sintering and pelletising of the raw materials in separate chapters, including the fundamentals, mineralogy, reactions, process and operating variables, quality and productivity of sintering and pelletising. In summary, this book is a masterful coverage of the subject, and is recommended reading for metallurgical students, teachers, researchers, and practicing professionals in the iron and steel industry.
