Description
This is a market dataset representing the consumption market in the region. It includes transportation of the product from the factory gate to consumption, with transport services calculated according to the regional transportation conditions for the product.
Activity Description
The production process of pelletized ore includes procedures such as raw material mixing, pellet formation, drying, and calcination, with the calcination process mainly employing the grate-kiln technology. The unit process activities include energy consumption (especially fuel consumption during pellet calcination), auxiliary material usage, as well as waste treatment and pollutant emissions.
Process Description
Pelletized ore is an iron ore product primarily used in blast furnace steelmaking. It is made from iron ore fines and binders through processes of pelletizing, drying, and roasting to form hard, spherical granules. Pelletized ore has high iron content, uniform chemical composition, and excellent reducibility, making it an ideal raw material for steelmaking. Its highly uniform size and shape enhance permeability and thermal efficiency of the burden layer inside the blast furnace, thereby improving steelmaking efficiency and reducing production costs.
