    Abstract:

    Carbon composite iron ore agglomerates have been studied for years as partial substitutes of coke and sinter in blast furnaces because of their high reduction rates. In recent years, the development of the Carbon Composite Iron Ore Hot Briquette (CCB) addressed the problem of poor mechanical strength at high temperatures. This paper tests an alternative method for manufacturing self-reducing briquettes and evaluates their physical properties and kinetic behavior during reduction. The method for manufacturing self-reducing briquettes consists of pressing a mixture of fine particles of coal and pellet feed iron ore in a laboratorial briquetting machine followed by a heat treatment. The briquettes showed an average compressive strength of 58 kgf and apparent activation energy for reduction of 306 kJ/mol.
