Briquetting of Egyptian ilmenite ore with different organic binder and reduced its in hydrogen in temperature range 800 – 1200 ℃

Abstract

Ilmenite ore fine was briquetted with different amounts of molasses or pitch pressed under different pressure was studied in this investigation. The results show at optimum amount of molasses added was 1.5 % and pitch, the pressure was 294.3 M.Pa.. Also the characterizations of raw materials were studied by different methods of analyses such as Xray and screen analyses. The produced briquettes were reduced by different amounts of hydrogen at different temperatures, and the reduction kinetics was determined.
