Disc granulators, or pelletizing discs as they are known in the ore industry, work based on the tumbling technique of agglomeration. In tumbling agglomeration, inclined discs, such as the one shown on the left, are typically used. The feed is usually a fine powder mixed with a liquid, most commonly water.
Agglomerating agent and method for use in heap leaching of mineral bearing ores. A moderate to high molecular weight anionic polymer in combination with lime provides a highly effective agglomerating agent. The anionic polymer is preferably a copolymer of acrylamide and acrylic acid. The polymer preferably has a molecular weight of from about 1 to 8 million or higher.
The effects of intermittent irrigation, type of agglomeration, feed formulation in terms of acid, enriched salt solution, initial number of microorganism, and their interactions on the bioleaching of low-grade zinc sulfide ores (containing 5.78% zinc) on growth and biooxidation efficiency of the bacteria have been evaluated.
Iron ores from new ore deposits are either too friable with a low yield of lump (−31.5+6.3 mm) or need to be crushed, ground, and upgraded to achieve the target grade. Therefore, the majority of iron ores currently produced from mines are sinter fines (−8 mm) and concentrates (−2mm even finer).

Agglomeration When the particle size of an ore or concentrate is too small foruse in a later stage of treatment, i.e. in the blast furnace, it must be reformed into lumps of appropriate size and strength that is agglomerated.

Abstract. The chemical binder is one of the critical factors affecting ore agglomeration behavior and leaching efficiency. In this study, we investigated the effect of the type of binder and mass fraction of the H 2 SO 4 solution used on the curing, soaking, and leaching behavior of agglomerations. The results revealed that Portland cement (3CaO.SiO 2, 2CaO.SiO 2, and 3CaO.Al 2 O 3) was the ...

Iron Ore: Mineralogy, Processing and Environmental Issues summarizes recent, key research on the characterization of iron ores, including important topics such as beneficiation (separation and refining), agglomeration (e.g., production of pellets or powders), blast furnace technology for smelting, and environmental issues relating to its production.
The high grade ores which were once easily mined have become depleted. The lower grade ores, such as precious metal or copper ore, are able to be recovered by heap leaching. This is a method that is used to recover lower grade ores in a reasonable amount of time, at low capital, and with low operating costs (Eisele et al., 1984; Dixon, 2003;
ABSTRACT In steel industry and in mines, a significant amount of ultra-fines waste iron oxides and iron ore fines is generated. Utilizations of these fines are required to reduce the environmental hazards and conserve the natural resources. Some of these fines are normally used in sintering practice. However, sintering has a limitation of accepting ultra-fines materials.
The mechanisms of agglomeration and defluidization and fluidization characteristic of iron oxide particles were investigated based on the theory of surface diffusion, interface reaction, surface nano/microeffect, and phase transformation. Moreover, a mathematical model was developed to predict the high-temperature defluidization behavior by the force-balance and plastic-viscous flow mechanism ...
Agglomeration is the formation of aggregate by the sticking together of feed and/or recycle materials, and it includes the formation of agglomerate nuclei. The main objective in agglomerating fines being the conversion of ores, minerals and chemicals of undesirable fineness into agglomerates characterised by a size consistency desirable for subsequent use or processing. In …
1. Iron ore - supply and demand outline 1.1 Types of iron ore Iron ores can be classified in different ways. The most important has to do with the iron content. In many cases, ore with a total iron content of 60% to 63%, or greater, is regarded as high grade, and ore with a …
Until the 1950s of the last century, the oxidized iron ores that were loaded into the blast furnace had granulometries within 10 and 120 mm. However, the depletion of high-grade iron ore sources has made necessary the utilization of concentration processes with the purpose of enriching the iron ore. Because of these processes, a fine granulometry is produced, and thus iron agglomeration ...

An Introduction to Agglomeration. Agglomeration is the process of particle size enlargement and is used throughout a variety of industries to improve handling and product characteristics, among other things. This presentation looks at why it may be desirable to agglomerate a material, as well as some of the basic types of agglomeration.
A process for improving the compressive strength of iron ore agglomerates, such as pellets or briquettes, used as a feed to an iron blast furnace, in which the particulate iron ore is treated, either before or after agglomeration with sufficient liquid or gaseous iron pentacarbonyl to provide about 2-5% carbonyl iron on the surfaces of the iron ore particles, following decomposition of the ...
Agglomeration economies or external economies of scale refer to the benefits from concentrating output and housing in particular areas. If an area specialises in the production of a certain type of good, all firms can benefit from various factors such as: Good supply networks. Supply of trained workers.
Types of Agglomeration. Various processes are covered under the umbrella of agglomeration. Among them: Pelletizing; Balling (Note: the term "balling: is often used in the agglomeration space. It's important to mention that this term is specific to the agglomeration of iron ore, and otherwise may refer to a size reduction process.) Micro ...
The effect of feed ore characteristics (e.g., mineralogy/chemistry and particle size distribution) on agglomeration behaviour and agglomerates' column leaching behaviour was investigated through several characterization techniques including agglomerate size, compressive strength, 3D micro-structure analyses and laboratory column leaching tests.
