The FEECO Agglomeration Handbook
In addition to material fines, agglomeration is also useful for sludge-like materials, such as manure or FGD sludge, transforming them into more usable, more easily handled forms. Long used throughout the iron and steel sector, agglomeration is far from a new technique. Despite this, however, it is constantly gaining popularity in an

Iron Ore Briquettes
Main advantages of iron ore briquettes. Lower CO2 emissions. Briquettes emit less carbon dioxide than traditional agglomeration processes (pelletizing and sintering). It can reduce CO2 emissions in the steelmaking chain by up to 10%. Lower gas emissions. Iron ore briquettes reduce emissions gases such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.

Low-grade iron ores are finely ground and processed to recover iron-bearing minerals. However, the iron-rich powder is too fine to be used directly in blast furnaces and most direct reduction furnaces, and must be agglomerated or pelletized into a usable product called "pellets." Bentonite clay has traditionally been used as a binder to make …
