iron ores are less rich and have a large number of impurities. The most important iron ore-forming minerals are: • Magnetite - Magnetite (Fe3O4) forms magnetic black iron ore. There are large deposits of magnetite in Russia and Sweden. • Hematite - Hematite (Fe2O3) is a red iron ore. Hematite occurs in almost all forms, from
The energy consumption needed for the pellet production from hematite ore fines is greater than that needed for pelletizing the magnetite ore fines. Moreover, pellets made from hematite ores have poor roasting properties and do not achieve adequate physical strength until the roasting temperature is higher than 1300 deg C.

The reductant can be a gas or a solid. Major DRI production processes are either natural gas based or coal based. Feed material for the DR process is either sized iron ore of size ranging from 10 mm to 30 mm or iron ore pellets of size ranging from 8 mm to 20 mm produced in an iron ore pellet plant.
The iron ore pellet holds a pivotal role in the ironmaking process, enabling the utilization of high-grade ore and the upgrading of …
