A new generation binder consisting of an organic binder and a borate salt was tested as an alternative to bentonite in magnetite ore pelletization. Carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC),Ciba DPEP06-0007 and corn starch, and calcined colemanite were used as organic binders and the borate salt, respectively. They were added to the pellet feed separately and in different combinations at several addition levels. It was found that the use of organic binders is sufficient in terms of wet pellet quality; however, they fail to render the required compressive strength to pre-heated and fired pellets. Therefore, organic binders and calcined colemanite were used together so that wet pellets, pre-heated and fired pellets would be of the required quality. The results showed that the use of an organic binder together with calcined colemanite indeed yielded pellets with equal or better wet and indurated pellet qualities compared to the pellets produced with bentonite binder alone.

Use of boron compounds as binders in iron ore pelletization Sivrikaya, Osman; Arol, Ali İhsan (2010-05-01) Low grade iron ores with impurity gangue minerals containing silica and alumina must be upgraded to an acceptable level of iron content. Concentrates, due to their fine sizes, are not suitable to be directly charged to the iron-making processes such as the blast furnace or the DR-plant. Hence, an agglomeration technique should be applied to fine concentrate. The most commonly employed one is pelletizing in iron ore industry. In pelletizing, iron ore, water and a binder are balled in a mechanical disc or dru...
ALTERNATIVE BINDERS TO BENTONITE FOR IRON ORE PELLETIZING: PART I: EFFECTS ON PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES Sivrikaya, Osman; Arol, A. I. (Instituto Federal de Educacao, Ciencia e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN), 2014-7-3) <jats:p>The use of conventional bentonite binder is favorable in terms of mechanical and metallurgical pellet properties, however, because of its acid constituents bentonite is considered as impurity especially for iron ores with high acidic content. Therefore, alternative binders to bentonite have been tested. Organic binders are the most studied binders and they yield pellets with good wet strength; they fail in terms of preheated and fired pellet strengths. This study was conducted to investigate how ins...
EVALUATION OF LOW GRADE IRON ORE DEPOSIT IN ERZINCAN-TURKEY FOR IRON ORE PELLET CONCENTRATE PRODUCTION SİVRİKAYA, OSMAN; Arol, Ali İhsan (2012-01-01) In this study the separation possibility of gangue minerals from a low grade magnetite ore with 45% Fe from an iron ore deposit located near Erzincan-Turkey was investigated. The iron ore deposit consists of mainly magnetite mineral. Hematite is the second iron oxide found in the deposit. The gangue minerals contain mainly SiO2 and Al2O3 impurities. The main object of the research is to investigate the production of a concentrate suitable for iron ore pellet production. The concentrate for pellet production...
Molten salt synthesis of calcium hydroxyapatite whiskers Tas, AC (2001-02-01) Calcium hydroxyapatite (HA) whiskers and crystals were produced by the route of molten salt synthesis. The effects on whisker morphology of chosen flux, flux-to-HA ratio, synthesis temperature, and reaction time were investigated. The thermal stabilities of the produced whiskers were tested at 1300 degreesC in an air atmosphere. A tentative X-ray diffraction pattern was proposed for the HA whiskers, Molten salt synthesis with a K2SO4 flux was found to be a simple and sturdy technique for manufacturing short...
Method to improve preheated and fired strengths of haematite pellets using boron compounds with organic binders SİVRİKAYA, OSMAN; Arol, Ali İhsan (2013-01-01) Organic binders as alternatives to bentonite in iron ore pelletisation have found limited application since they fail to give enough mechanical strength to preheated and fired pellets. This paper describes the use of alternative binders to bentonite for haematite ore pelletisation. Organic binders (carboxyl methyl cellulose, corn starch, dextrin) and agglomeration aid chemicals (polymer and flocculants) and boron compounds (colemanite and borax pentahydrate) were tested as binder alone or in combination. Th...
