Pellet size optimization technology for iron mining (IR-PSOT scenario) Iron ore pellets are formed by agglomerating iron ore fines using discs or drums and then firing them in induration furnaces (Yamaguchi et al., 2010). The induration process requires a large amount of thermal energy (Borim et al., 2018). A uniform distribution of pellet ...

Owen [47] notes that diesel-powered construction equipment, such as dozers, wheel loaders, and excavators, release an estimated 400 million tons of CO 2 annually, making up 1.1% of global carbon emissions. An astounding 46% of these emissions are produced by excavators in the 10 t-plus categories, with the mining industry accounting …

4.1.1 Iron Ore Mining There are two basic methods of mining iron ore. These are: • Surface mining or open-pit mining • Underground or shaft mining To be competitive, iron mining must be done on a very large scale. Surface mining is the preferred choice, although there are exceptions. Small, low-capacity mines have rapidly disappeared.

One of the problems is that mining has become more mechanized and therefore able to handle more rock and ore material than ever before. Therefore, mine waste has multiplied enormously. As mine technologies are developed to make it more profitable to mine low grade ore, even more waste will be generated in the future. Waste …

in the short term. In the case of iron ore, the "Big Five" iron ore miners have invested nearly US$150 billion in the expansion of output since 2006, and, as a consequence, are forecast to double production to 1.2 billion tonnes per annum by 2020. This rapid escalation in supply is a key contributor to forecast over-supply of
