ABSTRACTResults of reducibility tests of reduction conducted on iron ore pellets by carbon are presented in this work. Work done is centered on reduction kinetics by carbon with conventional heat supply (heat transfer process) compared with reduction kinetics where heat is supplied by microwaves to whole volume. Ore used in this work is called “Alzada” which has reducibility characteristics well known, and is often used as standard for comparison. Importance of using actual pellet instead of dust is pointed. This work is part of a project related with microwaves for reduction of metallic oxides.

The increasing demand for new technologies in the ironmaking/steelmaking field has been motivating several studies towards pelletizing process improvement. Within this context, evaluate the reduction of iron ore pellets using the dilatometer technique constitutes a promising approach for optimizing this process. This paper aims the metallurgical characterization through the sintering of particles in iron ore pellets. With this purpose, some experimental procedures are of concern as follows. Firstly, the kinetic densification of the iron ore pellets is measured using a dilatometer, which heats the samples up at 30 K/min until high temperatures about 1473 K and an isotherm at 10 minutes have been done. Then, the sample is cooled back to room temperature and undergoes a microstructural characterization, with the aid of a scanning electron microscope. At last, the density of the pellets is evaluated, using an Arquimedes Principle and consequently the porosity of the agglomerates. The results indicate the sintering progress of the particles that comprise the pellets as well as reduction the porosity. This behavior is due to the fact that the heat arising from gas induces the partial liquid phase formation and involves the agglomerate particles aiding in the sintering process.

Steel production is the most dynamic industry and one of the key sectors for the development of the global economy. The growing production of iron ore increases the need for its beneficiation and granulating for subsequent use in the production of iron and steel. As a result, the number of CO2 emissions and harmful substances increases, which negatively affects both society and the environment. It is important to study the use of biomass for the production of iron ore pellets. Lignocellulosic biomass is a renewable and sustainable source of heat and energy that can mitigate climate change. The efficiency of using sunflower husks on the combined machine “straight grate - rotary kiln - annular cooler” to partially replace natural gas in the production of iron ore pellets has been studied. The influences of alternative fuel use on technological indicators of the process and quality of iron ore pellets have been analyzed. It was found that the combustion of sunflower husks generates enough heat to obtain iron ore pellets with good strength. The main indicators of the quality of iron ore pellets remain at the same level as the iron ore pellet quality when using natural gas.
