Abstract:Chromite fines (defined as particles smaller than 6 mm) account for a significant fraction of mined South African chromite ore. These fines are pelletized to allow safe furnace smelting conditions. However, pelletization is an energy-and cost-intensive process that requires significant capital investment and has high operational costs as continuous curing temperatures of 1300-1500 °C are required. In this study, various cold-bonded pelletization processes were investigated to identify a process to prepare cold… Show more
