Glossary: Oxide pellets
Oxide pellets are spherical iron ore pellets used as feedstock in direct reduction plants and blast furnaces.
Pelletizing is a value-adding process that enables the use of iron ore fines produced during mining and beneficiation. These fines are agglomerated into pellets by mixing them with binders and additives, then firing them.
The resulting oxide pellets, composed primarily of iron oxides, offer the consistent size and quality needed to support stable furnace operation and efficient reduction to metallic iron.
