Iron Ore Beneficiation and Agglomeration

Intelligent concepts in minerals processing and travelling grate technology with comprehensive metallurgical know-how to design customized solutions

Given the decreasing availability of high-quality raw materials, the agglomeration of fine and ultra-fine iron ores becomes increasingly essential to meet the requirements of blast furnaces and direct reduced iron-based plants. Primetals Technologies’ comprehensive technological expertise on the entire metallurgical process chain is the basis for tailor-made sinter and pellet quality. This expertise also encompasses an in-depth understanding of the mineralogical properties of the ores, which is essential for a wide range of applications, from laboratory testing to large-scale industrial plants. The focus on chemical and metallurgical properties, as well as physical product requirements, is just as important as the ecological footprint. Energy efficiency, state-of-the-art off-gas cleaning, and advanced process control are integrated components of Primetals Technologies' technical solutions.
