Technical And Economic Indicators

Purpose. Show the possibility of producing bentonitic iron ore pellets with basicity of 0.6-1.2 on a flux bond. Methodology. Testing the properties of the flux binder in the production of pellets at different stages of technology. Analysis of the properties of the obtained pellets and technical and economic indicators of the operation of the firing conveyor machine during the periods of pellet production using bentonite clay and using a flux bond. Results. The advantages of the flux ligament compared to the bentonite are shown. The characteristics of the experimental pellets are given and the economic efficiency of using this technology is proved (bentonite output, increase in iron content, as well as the productivity of roasting machines up to 10%). The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that the formation mechanism and the rate of hydration of the flux bond as well as the time of formation of the colloidal binder solution have been clarified. A method of preparing a binder flux has been developed, which allows taking into account all the features of the raw materials and the existing products in the agglomeration factories. The practical significance lies in the possibility of introducing a technology for the production of pellets on a flux bundle in the conditions of any mining plant, which allows: to get rid of the use of bentonite clay, to increase the productivity of kiln machines, to reduce the consumption of limestone and coke in blast furnaces, to increase the productivity of blast furnaces.

Slag Regime

Input of intensifying additives, influencing the strengthening of iron ore pellets, can be one of methods to strengthen the pellets and to decrease the volume of fines in them. Boron oxide ore borate ore can be used as such additives. Study of technology aspects of boron-containing pellets production and elaboration of technology of boron input into Kachkanar vanadiumcontaining raw materials was the purpose of the study, aimed at exclusion from BF burden of sinter, which does not contain vanadium. A possibility was justified to use borate ore at iron ore pellets production by a partial substitution of bentonite. Influence of borate ore additives on pellets metallurgical properties studied. As a result of laboratory studies it was determined, that the borate ore has not binding properties and its utilization is possible only in a mixture with bentonite. Optimal content of borate ore in pellets determined, exceeding of which a decrease of reducibility is observed, accompanied by a considerable swelling, which makes impossible the utilization of such pellets in blast furnaces. It was shown, that input of optimal volume of borate ore additives enables to keep the reducibility and swelling at the level of Kachkanar pellets being produced. The mechanism of borate ore content influence on strength characteristics of burnt pellets and their behavior during reducing studied. The regularity of borate ore additives influence on cold and hot pellets strength determined. It was determined, that at input of 0.5% of borate ore practically does not influence on the pellets reducibility while swelling will be constant. The input of borate ore up to 2% will result in a sharp increase of swelling. The decrease of reducibility with simultaneous increase of swelling of pellets having more than 0.5% of borate ore does not allow using such pellets in blast furnaces. Recommendations provided for slag regime optimizing, decreasing of metal losses with slag and test BF heats of pellets, having optimal additives of borate ore and bentonite carrying out.
