Abstract
This article presents the results of research on the development of an effective technology for the production of non-fired pellets using a binder additive and a reducing agent. The proposed method will make it possible to obtain pellets using material of class 0-5 mm, i.e. eliminates the costliest part of the pellet production technology - regrinding. It is also important that the non-fired agglomeration of the material almost unchanged the composition and properties of the feedstock, as a result of which the reduction processes in them begin earlier and proceed more intensively. Using the results of physical and chemical studies, a technology has been developed for pelletizing fines of manganese ore from the Western Kamys deposit using clay from the Sazdinsky deposit as a binder and smelting ferrosilicon manganese using manganese pellets.
