Utilization of Hydrated Lime as Binder and Fluxing Agent for the Production of High Basicity Magnesium Fluxed Pellets

The present work investigates the manufacture of high basicity (CaO/SiO2 = 1.45) magnesium containing fluxed pellets with hydrated lime used as binder and fluxing agent. fired lump ores could constitute a binary burden for blast furnace lower carbon emission. Both green possessed good physical chemical properties, its metallurgical performances were better than in which bentonite limestone agent, respectively. optical microscopy, SEM/EDS thermodynamic calculation employed to clarify difference between pellets. effect on properties indurated was also studied. results found that decomposition characteristics agents had great influence mineral composition Larger amounts high-melting phases like MgFe2O4, strong bonding such CaFe2O4 reducibility SFCA be generated during induration process, thus being improved.
