METHOD FOR LUMPING SMALL-DISPERSED IRON-CONTAINING MATERIAL FOR METALLURGIC CONVERSION BY USING ORGANIC BINDING AGENT Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC C22B1/244 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods for lumping ground iron-ore raw in aim for it preparing to metallurgic conversion and utilization of iron-containing waste. At least one iron-containing material and a binding agent are mixed, the mixture is subjected for aggregation and prepared aggregates are strengthened. As a binding material method involves using a synthetic copolymer of acrylamide and sodium acrylate wherein the mole part of sodium acrylate can be from 0.5 to 99.5% and molecular mass in the range = (1 x 10⁴)-(2 x 10⁷) Da. Dosing synthetic copolymer of acrylamide and sodium acrylate is from 0.02 to 0.10 kg per a ton of iron-containing material. Copolymer of acrylamide and sodium acrylate can be used as a dry powder, solution, emulsion, suspension or aerosol, in pure state or as a mixture with additional material. Invention provides retaining the maximally high content of iron in lumped material possessing required physical and metallurgic properties, enhancing output of the technological process and creating additional parameters in operation of the lumping process.

EFFECT: improved lumping method.
