Abstract
The mineral species SiO2 in iron ore determine the course of liquidphase strengthening in pellets and the composition of the silicate binder in the finished product It is not possible to obtain naturally basic pellets that remain strong under reducing conditions if the pellets are obtained from ores which contain hightemperature silicates that do not form a melt within the range of temperatures used for firing the pellets In this case the charge must be fluxed so that the solidphasesintering stage results in the formation of mineral phase that will form the primary melt It is best to make naturally basic pellets from ores with lowmelting siliconbearing minerals The thermal properties of the silicates in the iron ores should accounted for in the firing regime in order to obtain strong pellets
