Iron ore pellets are widely used as a substitute of lump ore for the production of direct reduced iron (DRI) and in the blast furnace (BF) for the production of hot metal. Iron ore pellets are used in large proportion, which is continue to rise because of the lack of supply of highquality lump ores.

The main raw materials for the production of DRI by the rotary kiln process are (i) sized graded iron ore or iron ore pellets, (ii) noncoking coal, and (iii) dolomite in small quantities to scavenge the sulphur. Iron ore of the right quality is the basic input for the coal based direct reduction process.

DRI is produced in many forms. These are lump, pellets, hot briquetted iron (HBI), fines, and cold briquetted iron (CBI). HBI and CBI are densified forms of DRI to facilitate its handling and transport. HBI is produced by compacting DRI under very high pressure at temperatures in excess of 650 deg C.

Since DRI has become competitive with steel scrap, the gangue content of the DRI has to be reduced appreciably. The iron ore feeds for the DR processes normally contain less than 2 % silica and 1 % alumina. Moreover, certain additions of either limestone or dolomite are made to improve the behaviour of the iron ore pellets during reduction.

Abstract The iron ore production has significantly expanded in recent years, owing to increasing steel demands in developing countries. However, the content of iron in ore deposits has deteriorated and lowgrade iron ore has been processed. The fines resulting from the concentration process must be agglomerated for use in iron and steelmaking.
