SUMMARY:Iron ore pelletizing performance optimization as a contribution to the decarbonization of the iron and steel value chain
DESCRIPTION:The iron and steel industry is one of the largest industrial emitters of Greenhouse-gas emissions. Most companies are currently undertaking unprecedented steps to transform their production from the traditional blast furnace route to DRI-EAF based steelmaking using hydrogen. At the same time, the required raw material qualities become more and more scarce.
Consequently, the key input material for iron making will gradually shift to pellets. In anticipation of a growing demand, more pellet plants are expected to be built in the coming years We would like to discuss the possibilities to decarbonize this important part of the value chain and the possibilities to impact the downstream reduction processes.
Up to 20% on energy savings in the pelletizing plants are possible by the correct combination of equipments and technolgoies. In addition, fired pellet quality can be positively influenced  by green pellets quality, shape, homogeneous size distribution and reducibility. All those parameters can help save significant amounts of reductant and heating energy in the downstream processes leading to a multiplication of direct CO2 savings.
