AN IMPROVED DEVICE AND A METHOD TO CONDUCT A HIGH TEMPERATURE FERROUS BURDEN CHARACTERIZATION

摘要

This invention describes swelling test of multiple iron ore pellets of different chemistry or origin in a non-conventional apparatus which is used for high temperature characterization of iron bearing burden materials and thereby reduce time, cost and resource requirement significantly for such routine quality control test along with additional information on reducibility and comparison of swelling and reducibility between pellet samples under identical conditions. This invention can also be employed for measuring swelling and reducibility of chromite, Mn-ore and other oxide ore pellets and/ore agglomerates.
