The induration process and oxidation kinetics of Hongge vanadium titanium-bearing magnetite (HVTM) pellets have been investigated by employing X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry. The results indicated that HVTM was a high-chromium vanadium-bearing titanomagnetite containing 1.48 wt-% Cr 2 O 3 , and the crystal stock strength was 625 N. The compressive strength of HVTM pellets could be improved by increasing the roasting temperature and roasting time. Under the optimum conditions of oxidation roasting at 1200°C for 15 min, the compressive strength was found to be 2893 N. The phase transformations of the valuable elements could be described as follows:
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
