Abstract

Direct reduction of iron ore gives the benefit of low carbon dioxide emissions when compared to blast furnace ironmaking. New technologies for producing a suitable pellet for charging to the direct reduction plant, in the form of cold agglomerated pellets can further reduce CO2 in the supply chain. Additional benefits can arise which relate to the efficiency of the ironmaking process. This efficiency involves an easier route to metallic conversion of the iron oxide in a direct reduction plant.This paper compares reduction tests of cold bonded agglomerates from binding solutions ltd, to conventional iron ore pellets and gives reasoning as to how the benefits occur
