The application of metallurgical briquettes

News

  • as a single-component burden substitute of traditional multi-component charge for the production of iron, steel and ferroalloy; self-fluxing, self-restoring, alloying charge for metallurgical refinings
  • as a unique utilization method of dispersed waste of ferrous metallurgy, by-product-coking and other industries with its profitable usage in metallurgical furnaces
  • as the most accessible and cheap method of ore-coal material agglomeration by vibrocompaction
"Ore-coal materials (pellets and briquettes of dispersed components) have marked by their appearance a crucial moment in realization of rational method of iron production. Their quantitative difference from ore-coal charge (the degree of components dispensability, the contact surface area of ferric oxides with carbon and gas) gives new qualities to the system".
