Iron ore pellets

Iron ore pellets are small, round pieces of processed iron ore used in steel manufacturing. They are made by grinding raw iron ore, mixing it with binders, and then shaping the mixture into pellet form through heating. These pellets are easier to handle, transport, and smelt compared to raw ore. When used in blast furnaces or direct reduction processes, they efficiently produce high-quality iron and steel products. Pellets optimize the steelmaking process by improving energy efficiency and reducing impurities, making them a vital input in modern steel production.
