چکیده مقاله:

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; drying, firing and cooling have checked the validity of the model. At first, a mixture of iron ore is selected and then the percentage of limestone is changed. The maximum metallization and fired pellet strength with minimum sticking vs. basicity is obtained. In the next stage the percentage of coke in iron ore is altered and all of physical and chemical property of the pellets are measured. Finally, the optimum percentage of coke in the iron ore is determined. By using different percentage of coke in the pellet the experiments are performed in three conditions. In the first condition, inlet gas temperature is decreased alone. In the second condition, inlet gas temperature and total indurtion time are decreased together and in the third condition, in addition to above conditions, oxygen injection to the furnace is carried out. Energy savings in all three conditions have been obtained.

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...

Microwaves Applied to Carbothermic Reduction of Iron Ore Pellets

Results of reducibility tests of reduction conducted on iron ore pellets with carbon are presented in this work. Work done is centered on reduction kinetics using carbon as reducing agent with conventional heat supply (heat transfer process) compared with reduction kinetics where heat is supplied by microwaves to the whole volume. Ore used in this work is called "Alzada" which has reducibility ...

How to Measure Phase Distribution and Degree of Sintering in Iron Ore Pellets

Iron ore pellets are made from refined and ground ore that is balled into spheroids and then heat treated. Pellet properties are measured through standardized physical, chemical and metallurgical tests to guarantee a high quality end product. However to better understand the oxidation and sintering of iron ore pellets one has to study the microstructures. This paper provides a proof of concept ...
