Review of Organic Binders for Iron Ore Agglomeration
Agglomeration processes combine small, discrete particles into larger aggregates, where the individual particles are still discernible (Ennis and Litster 1997). During iron ore agglomeration or pelletization, moist iron concentrate particles and flux materials are rolled into balls with the aid of a binder (Figure 1).
