Method and apparatus for using a pre-jel for producing self-reducing agglomerates

摘要

Self-reducing agglomerates are provided for use in the production of metal. The agglomerates comprise a mixture of iron oxide containing particles and particles of a reducing agent bonded by use of a pre-gel. The agglomerates are produced by a method and apparatus that provides for mixing and curing thereof. The agglomerates may then be used for reduction thereof for the production of iron.
