Use of local fuel-produced syngas for iron ore pelletizing

Iron ore pellets are important sources of iron for steel manufacturing. A high temperature process of induration finalizes pelletizing and typically consumes vast amounts of heat. While local resources can include iron ore, there can be a lack of local natural gas normally used for ore processing. A solution is use of abundant local fuel-produced syngas. We have performed this research based on mathematical modeling. A possibility of use of local coal-produced syngas for iron ore pelletizing has been proven what means creating a novel way for active and cost-efficient local ore pellet manufacturing. Gasification of induration machines does not require major equipment renovation. We have also analyzed major benefits and risks of this new technology.
