The increasing demand for new technologies in the ironmaking/steelmaking field has been motivating several studies towards pelletizing process improvement. Within this context, evaluate the reduction of iron ore pellets using the dilatometer technique constitutes a promising approach for optimizing this process. This paper aims the metallurgical characterization through the sintering of particles in iron ore pellets. With this purpose, some experimental procedures are of concern as follows. Firstly, the kinetic densification of the iron ore pellets is measured using a dilatometer, which heats the samples up at 30 K/min until high temperatures about 1473 K and an isotherm at 10 minutes have been done. Then, the sample is cooled back to room temperature and undergoes a microstructural characterization, with the aid of a scanning electron microscope. At last, the density of the pellets is evaluated, using an Arquimedes Principle and consequently the porosity of the agglomerates. The results indicate the sintering progress of the particles that comprise the pellets as well as reduction the porosity. This behavior is due to the fact that the heat arising from gas induces the partial liquid phase formation and involves the agglomerate particles aiding in the sintering process.

Baogang Group imported large quantities of Mongolian iron ore to solve the shortage of ironmaking raw materials. But the basic parameters of Mongolian iron ore in pellets production are deficient. In this paper, orthogonal experimental method was used in the optimization of roasting production process of Mongolian iron ore pellets. The results show that when the content of Mongolian iron ore is 55%, the factors affecting the expansion rate of pellets in order of decrease is bentonite proportion, roasting temperature, roasting time and preheating temperature. For pellets containing 55% Mongolian iron ore, the optimum roasting schemes are as follows: bentonite proportion at 3.3%, roasting temperature at 700°C, roasting time at 14 minutes and preheating temperature at 1280°C. Under this roasting scheme, the expansion rate of pellets is 13.41%, and the compression strength reaches 2275N, which meets the technological requires of large blast furnace. The main phase of the Mongolian iron ore pellets is hematite, with a porosity of 25%-30%. And the content of gangue and liquid phase is relatively low, which is beneficial to the reduction process of pellets in blast furnace.
