It is an agglomerating process of converting iron ore fines into 'uniformed sized iron ore pellets' which can be charged directly into a blast furnace (BF) or into a vertical furnace or rotary kiln normally used for the production of direct reduced iron (DRI). The iron ore pellets are shown in Fig 1.

The Grate-Kiln process, applied in the iron ore industry, is an example of an industrial process that is attracting increased attention regarding emissions reductions. The Grate-Kiln process applies combustion of a fuel together with large volumes of pre-heated (>1000°C) air in a rotary kiln, so as to provide heat for the iron ore.

At the temperature of 1 200°C, a sizable increase of recovery and iron content of DRI was observed when the particle size of iron ore decreased from -4 mm to -0.1 mm, however, the phosphorus ...

The green pellets are first dried and then preheated (partially hardened) on a 1-ft by 10-ft-long traveling grate containing one updraft drying zone and two downdraft preheat zones. Pellets are then indurated in a 34-in-diam by 35- ft-long rotary kiln pitched at a slope of ¼ in/ft and rotating at a speed of 1 rpm.

Brief Introduction of Direct Reduction Iron (DRI) Process. The rotary kiln discharges high-temperature exhaust gas and directly enters the sintering section of the chain-comb machine to heat and sinter the iron powder balls. The high-temperature exhaust gas is drawn from the lower duct of the chain-comb machine by a regenerative fan.

The grate-rotary kiln process is widely used to produce iron ore pellets in China. Pulverized coal is commonly applied as fuel to heat and roast green pellets [ [10], [11], [12] ]. However, the formed deposits on the wall of the grate and kiln probably cause many serious problems [ [13], [14], [15] ].

Direct Reduced Iron is produced in a rotary kiln. Iron ore is fed to the kiln, along with coal as reductant (to reduce FeOx to Fe) as well as a small amount of dolomite which acts as a sulfur collector. Reduction occurs at roughly 100°C within the bed and CO gas rises as the solid iron is produced, i.e. no liquid is present.
