SUMMARY:Industrial trial of recycled iron briquettes produced with iron ore fines and sludge from sedimentation piles in a direct reduced iron reactor
DESCRIPTION:To demonstrate the technical and operational feasibility of processing briquettes made from iron fines in a Direct Reduction HYL Plant (DRP). An industrial trial was conducted by loading the DRP HYL reactor with a mixture of Iron Ore Pellets and Recycled iron Briquettes (RiB) made of iron ore pellets fines and sludge from the settling ponds.

The physical properties of the RiB before the reduction process allows for conventional handling with industrial equipment to be fed to the reactor. The quality of the reduced RiB in Metallization and Carbon content is superior to the quality of the DRI pellets. Reduced RiB shows a compressive strength similar to or superior to the DRI pellets processed with the current Iron Ore Pellets.

The results of the Industrial Trial carried out at a Direct Reduction HYL Plant, have sufficient physical and metallurgical properties to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the RiB technology. This allows the recycling of the iron ore pellet fines and sludge from the settling ponds in the direct reduction plants by producing RiB and mixing them with the iron ore pellets.
