Histor ory Hist or y
The first Grate-Kiln System pellet plant was installed in 1960. The plant took iron ore concentrate and produced superior iron ore pellets for blast furnace and direct reduced iron feed. Since then, Grate-Kiln Systems have been used for over 50 plants, on both magnetite and hematite ores, with an installed capacity of over 115 million tpy.

Energy Efficiency
In a Grate-Kiln System, the traveling grate is used to dry and preheat the pellets. A refractory lined rotary kiln is used for induration. In a straight grate, the grate cars have to go through the drying and induration zones. So, a deep bed of pellets with a hearth layer is required. What this means is that a modern Grate-Kiln System will have a power requirement of less than 20 kwh/ton, while a straight grate system will use over 35 kwh/ton. Another part of the Grate Kiln System process flexibility is because there is only one burner. The kiln burner can use liquid gas, or solid (coal or wood) fuels separately or in combination. One burner reduces maintenance costs and improves fuel efficiency. In the Grate Kiln System, 95% of the air used for combustion is +1,000 C air from the cooler. A straight grate, with up to 50 burners, cannot match this level of energy recovery.

Process Flexibility
There are two main processes for producing iron ore pellets: The Grate-Kiln System and the straight grate system. In the straight grate system, a continuous parade of grate cars moves at the same speed though the drying, induration and cooling zones. Any change in one section

    The kiln is a cylindrical vessel, inclined slightly to the horizontal, which is rotated slowly about its axis. The material to be processed is fed into the upper end of the cylinder. As the kiln rotates, material gradually moves down towards the lower end, and may undergo a certain amount of stirring and mixing. Hot gases pass along the kiln, sometimes in the same direction as the process material (co-current), but usually in the opposite direction…

    Cast iron was invented between the late 4th century BC and the early 5th century BC (Zhou dynasty). The process was created by melting pig iron. The blast furnace was used for smelting iron ore and coke (a high carbon fuel), charcoal or anthracite (a type of coal). Limestone was used as a flux. Sand was used to create the castings. Innovators used this process to create tools, wheels, weapons and machinery. The iron plow, swords, spears and knives were developed around the 6th century BC (Han dynasty).…

    Answer: For graphite flakes, gray cast iron is formed which is then heated to a temperature at which the ferrite transforms to austenite; the austenite is then rapidly quenched, which transforms to martensite. For graphite nodules and rosettes, nodular and malleable cast irons are first formed which are then austenitized and rapidly quenched.…
