Iron Ore Pellets

Applications of Iron Ore Pellets

Blast Furnaces:

Used as a high-grade alternative to sinter or lumps in steel production.
Enhances furnace efficiency by providing consistent raw material.

Direct Reduction (DRI) Plants:

Ideal feedstock for gas-based DRI processes due to their high reducibility.

Steelmaking:

Essential in producing high-quality steel with minimal impurities.

Iron Ore Pellets are small, spherical agglomerates of iron ore fines, typically 6mm to 16mm in diameter. These are used as a feedstock in steelmaking processes, especially in blast furnaces and direct reduction plants. Pellets are preferred over fines due to their uniform size, strength, and superior metallurgical properties.
