摘要

A method of producing a taconite pellet including reducing the water content of naturally found Gyttja to a maximum of 50%, mixing the Gyttja with finely ground taconite ore, and pelletizing the finely ground taconite and Gyttja mixture to form a green pellet. The pellet is then processed to burn off the organic portion of the Gyttja and to harden the pellet.
