What is iron ore pellet. Iron ore pellets are made by adding a small amount of additives to the fine ore powder (-200 mesh, that is, the ore powder with a particle size of less than 0.074mm accounts for more than 80%, and the specific surface area is more than 1500cm2/g), adding water to the pelletizer, relying on capillary force and mechanical …
