Usage of High-LOI Iron Ore Fines in Pellet Making
Loss on ignition (LOI) in the mineral represents the chemically bonded water which can be removed at high temperatures only. High LOI in iron ore fines has an adverse affect during pellet induration process. High-LOI iron ore fines are required for detailed laboratory pelletization studies and are used in pellet making. The received iron ore is martite–goethitic and …
