The Optimal Content of Liquid Glass in the Raw Material Mixtures in the Briquettes Production

Abstract

The results of the mechanical characteristics determining the briquettes during the roll briquetting of the raw mixtures are presented. The fine fractions briquetting process of iron ore concentrate and ferrosilicon manganese with the liquid glass as a binder was investigated. The mechanical strength briquettes data for low and high stresses of the mixtures briquetting are obtained. According to the results of the briquettes test for dropping and crushing, the minimum amount values of binder in the mixtures are obtained. They provide a sufficient level of the briquette mechanical properties. The automated technological line for roll briquetting of raw mixtures with a binder is presented.
