Abstract:

In this research, the effects of oxygen injection during the induration process were studied in order to improve the quality specifications and increase the rate of production of the iron oxide pellets. Several experiments were carried out in palletizing pilot plant in different conditions of oxygen injection. The results suggested that if only the extra oxygen was injected into the furnace in a specific range of time and temperature, shortening of the time of heating process and increasing the rate of production in the induration machine could be achievable. Furthermore, the optimal condition for oxygen injection into the combustion gas was determined for the pellets containing the coke powder. The microstructures of a cross section of the pellets were investigated via scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that oxygen injection into the furnace provided the condition for the production of a uniform homogenous structure without cracks and microstructure defects in iron ore pellet.

Mathematical Model For Energy Saving In Induration Of Iron Ore Pellets Containing Solid Fuel

Mathematical model for a pilot scale iron ore pellet induration furnace has been developed which considers the process of induration including the reactions of limestone, magnetite and coke. The differential equations of energy, mass and momentum are solved simultaneously. The profiles of temperature, pressure and concentration are obtained. Performing separate experiments on sub processes; dry...

Optimization of a simulated iron-oxide pellets induration furnace

Induration furnaces for iron-oxide pellets are expensive processes, due to their high energy consumption. Moreover, they are highly interactive and then complex to control. Real-time optimization strategies based on reliable process models are thus necessary. However, induration furnaces are described by distributed-parameter models that require long computation times. The performance of IMCopt...

environmental effects of gol-e-gohar iron ore mine on groundwater of the area

gol-e-gohar iron ore mine of sirjan in southern part of iran is a large open pit that operates below the groundwater table and during mining operation, dewatering is required to prevent operation processes from flooding. current operation is going on by digging wells in or out of the pit and pumping to prevent flooding. as a result of the former dewatering operation a vast deep cone of depressi...
