Indeed, there has been a scarcity of high quality iron ore in the world, and given the ever increasing Chinese demand for such product, mainly due to environmental issues but also steel mill profitability, headline iron ore prices (62%Fe) tend to move more dramatically during periods of short supply versus higher quality material (65%+Fe) …

Higher carbon market prices in Europe at over Eur90/mt in December and interest in lower emissions carbon accounted steel may ensure efficient pellets are prioritized. Strong ferrous scrap, pig iron and hot-briquetted iron …

Pellets are a type of agglomerated iron ore fines which has better tumbler index when compared with that of parent iron ore and can be used as a substitute of lump ore for the production of sponge iron and in blast furnaces for the production of hot metal. The iron pellets are produced with cold crushing strength (CCS) of 210+ and porosity of 24+" …

Iron ore pellets, like concentrates, are raw materials for the manufacture of iron, which is pulverized and ground into pellets ranging from 0 to 100 microns for supply to industry as pellet feed. Green pellets and hardened green pellets are used in the direct reduction process to produce iron.

Weaker iron and steel production in the EU have led to reduced demand for raw materials in the fourth quarter of 2022 and early 2023, particularly for high-grade iron ore and pellets, while coking coal demand was supported by strong energy prices through 2022 and trade restrictions on Russian coal, according to an analysis by S&P Global …

Brazilian iron ore producer Samarco in March started shipments of direct reduction (DR) pellets, expanding pellet qualities shipped since the company restarted operations in January.

Iran iron ore pellets sales with 65% Fe, in addition to domestic plants, are being marketed worldwide. China has more share of Iran iron ore pellets in the world. Of course, the existence of a tariff on iron ore pellets exports is one of the parameters for controlling the export and supply of domestic steel mills which limits the iron ore pellet plant in iran to …

Using pellets instead of sinter (slightly larger pieces of iron ore) in customers' pig iron processes saves emissions at steel plants. The high concentration of iron combined with the carefully tested and balanced additives in our pellets also result in lower emissions in customers' ironmaking processes.

China is the world's largest importer of iron ore pellets, accounting for 23% of the total seaborne pellet trade between CY2016 and CY2020. On the other hand, Brazil is the largest exporter, accounting for 25% of total pellet exports during this period.

The binder is an important additive widely applied in pelletizing iron ore concentrates, making iron ore pellets available as feedstocks for blast furnace ironmaking or direct reduction processes ...

Seven open pit iron ore mines (each with associated concentration and pelletizing plants) and four iron metallic plants—one direct-reduced iron (DRI) plant in Louisiana and three hot-briquetted iron (HBI) plants in Indiana, Ohio, and Texas—operated during the year to supply steelmaking raw materials.

Pellets are a raw material input used to make iron in a blast furnace which is further used for steel production. While most of the iron ore pellet capacity in India is with integrated steelmakers who produce them for captive use, there also are significant merchant plants that produce them for sale to steelmakers in India and overseas.

Russia's hot-briquetted iron and direct-reduced iron capacity is set to more than double over the next five years to over 17 million mt/year, according to projects in the pipeline, meaning the country's production or procurement of DR-grade pellets needed to feed new HBI and DRI furnaces will also have to double.

Scrapping of export duty provided a respite to merchant pellet exporters and is likely to facilitate improvement in the capacity utilisation levels, going forward. While exports are slated to increase, the gross contribution levels are likely to be lower than the pre-duty levels due to a rise in iron ore prices and relatively subdued global demand for pellets …

The Company's November 2022 NI 43-101 Feasibility Study (the "Study") included a pellet plant sized at 1 million tonnes per annum to process iron-vanadium-titanium concentrate at its Saguenay ...
