Method for Reducing Fuel Consumption When Roasting Pellets from Magnetite Iron Ore Concentrate

The main directions of the economic and social development of the Republic of Azerbaijan envisage technical re-equipment in the ferrous metallurgy industry based on the wide application of progressive scientific and technical achievements. Here, an important place is given to the creation of new resource-saving technological processes and highly efficient equipment. The most important task of increasing the efficiency of obtaining iron from ore materials is to reduce the consumption of metal and energy. It is important to significantly reduce waste and losses during iron ore production by improving the quality of iron ore logs. The task set in the work is related to the conditions of production and remelting of iron ore logs in an electric furnace. Instead of melting metal waste in metallurgical plants, the steels obtained from the melting of metal logs with 95-97% iron content obtained from iron ore by one end processing method are economically very efficient and important issue for the Republic. The implementation of these important national economic issues is possible by solving the processes of drying and burning of iron ore logs, complex optimization, taking into account the limiting factors of the process of choosing rational temperature regimes and the practical application of the obtained results in the industry.
