VERFAHREN ZUM PASSIVIEREN VON SCHWAMMEISENPELLETS

摘要

Sponge iron pellets are protected against re-oxidation by pre-wetting them with water or steam, coating them with a pulverulent passivating agent which is a mixture of iron oxide particles and hydraulic cement particles, then drying the treated pellets. Especially good results are achieved by using a hydraulic cement such as Portland cement and an iron oxide/cement ratio of 40:60 to 70:30.
