ABSTRACT. The behavior of iron ore pellet binders is complex. Any pellet binder is subject to a handful of practical requirements: that it be readily dispersed through a pellet, that it effectively controls the movement of water within the pellet, and that it contributes to the inter-particle bonding within the pellet.

While interacting with the water, bentonite clay expands and becomes sticky. This property allows to effectively use it as a binder for the production of pellets from iron ore concentrate (wet, crushed iron ore that has been beneficiated). Pellets are used in blast-furnace redistribution and electrometallurgical production.
