Iron Ore Pellet an overview ScienceDirect Topics
Available sources of iron oxide include high-grade lump ore, beneficiated iron ore fines, iron ore pellets, and agglomerates from dusts produced by the BF, basic oxygen furnace, and the EAF. Most DRI is produced in shaft furnaces, which require a uniform-sized coarse feed. Due to the high gas velocities and abrasive conditions in shaft furnaces, fine particles are not suitable as charge
