The Effect of Additives and Reductants on the Strength of Reduced Iron
Cold crushing strength (CCS) of iron ore pellets varies widely from as low as 80 Kgf / pellets to as high as 350 Kgf /pellets depending upon the input material quality and the process variables. The most preferred range of CCS of iron ore pellets is 180-240 Kg f / pellets which were normally found in the proportion of 35-40% at the plant.

Quality requirements of iron ore for iron production
Therefore, the TI of iron-bearing materials should be > 95% + 6.3 mm and the RDI < 12% − 6.3 mm, as well as CCS > 225 kg. More fines in the shaft furnace decrease the bed permeability, leading to nonuniform gas flow and temperatures in the shaft as well as difficulties in injecting the reducing gas through the bustle.

Iron processing
Crushing. As-mined iron ore contains lumps of varying size, the biggest being more than 1 metre (40 inches) across and the smallest about 1 millimetre (0.04 inch). The blast furnace, however, requires lumps between 7 and 25 millimetres, so the ore must be crushed to reduce the maximum particle size. Crushed ore is divided into various fractions ...
