A METHOD OF AGGLOMERATION OF FERROALLOY FINES SUCH AS FERROMANGANESE, FERROCHROME AND FERROSILICON FINES

摘要

A method of agglomeration of ferroalloy fines such as ferromanganese, ferrochrome and ferrosilicon fines comprising the steps of: Providing ferroalloy fines below 10mm size; Sieving <3mm size fraction and crushing 3-10mm to produce <3mm fines; mixing the resulted fines with a phenol formaldehyde resol resin binder in a vessel; compacting the mixed fines in a compressive machine in batches to form agglomerates; curing the agglomerates on heating in a furnace maintained at a temperature range 150-200°C for about 60 to 90 minutes.
