Abstract:

The paper investigates the effect of high-temperature roasting and cooling modes of roasted iron ore pellets on their strength and porosity. These characteristics depend on the initial iron ore raw materials properties, the parameters of the raw pellets, the firing temperature, the holding time at this temperature, the heating and cooling rate, and take into account the change in these indicators in connection with the chemical and mineralogical compositions of the pellets. It has been established that the strength of iron ore pellets obtained at the optimum firing temperature depends on the characteristics of the initial finely dispersed iron ore raw material. The relationship between the content of draw rock and the strength of calcined pellets has been revealed. A significant influence of the raw pellets porosity on the strength of the calcined pellets was found. It is shown that the crushing strength of pellets cooled in air is higher than the strength of pellets cooled with water, and a decrease in the final cooling temperature leads to an increase in the strength of the pellets. It is substantiated that the heating rate should not exceed the rate of gas diffusion, and with a decrease in the size of finely dispersed iron ore raw materials, the shrinkage of the pellet layer increases during heating. It is shown that shrinkage appears at temperatures lower than the optimal calcining temperature and insignificantly affects the strength of the pellets. The results obtained can be used to substantiate resource-and-energy efficient operating modes of horizontal-grate machines in ferrous metallurgy.
