Abstract (en)

Self-reducing agglomerates of an iron oxide-containing material, such as an iron ore concentrate, having a compressive strength of at least about 45 Kg. are produced by preparing a moistened mixture of the ore concentrate, a finely-divided natural pyrolyzed carbonaceous material having a volatile matter (on dry basis) content of about 20% by weight or less in an amount at least sufficient to reduce all the iron oxide to metallic iron, about 1 to about 30% by weight of a bonding agent, such as burned or hydrated lime, and 0 up to about 3% by weight of a siliceous material (as SiO2), such as silica; forming green agglomerates from this mixture; and hydrothermally hardening the green agglomerates by contacting them with steam under pressure.
