Main reactions of iron ore pellets desulphurization are considered in details in a number of papers, in which the results obtained refer only to their isothermal heating. Therefore studies of authors were concentrated on desulphurization kinetics of nonfluxed and fluxed Sokolov-Sarbai and Kostomuksha pellets, having different content of initial Sulphur in concentrate at nonisothermal heating.Regime peculiarities of sulphuric pellets thermal treatment in a layer considered. Recommendations on roasting regime of pellets layer elaborated, which enable to decrease the sulfates decomposition degree. The mechanism and kinetics of calcium sulfate dissociation at temperatures and gas content, typical for conveyer and sintering machines, studied. The temperature level determined, at which maximum dissociation velocity of calcium sulfate is reached. Simulation of the process of pellets thermal treatment in air and in helium media realized. It was shown that at roasting in a lowoxidizing atmosphere the sulphur content in pellets, roasted at correspondent temperatures, was decreased considerably. Rational iron ore pellets roasting regimes elaborated aimed at their acceptable properties both by strength and by Sulphur content.
