Pellets are small balls of iron ore that are used in steel production. These days with the invention of pelletizing, pellets are prepared from the powders that obtained from iron ore extraction, which are used as raw materials and feed for direct reduction furnaces and blast furnaces.
The main ingredient in making pellets is iron ore, which should be used as a concentrate. Iron ore concentrate is obtained by removing iron impurities and increasing the grade of iron by crushing and softening. The particle size of the concentrate used should be less than 45 microns.
