Recycling and Reuse of Iron Ore Pellet Fines | SpringerLink
This has resulted in a large increase in the demand for iron ore. It is a great concern for steel industries to either receive suitable quality iron ore in the form of lumpy or sinter/pellet. To utilize the ultra-fine particles after beneficiation of low and lean grade resources, pelletization is the only alternative technology.

What is Sponge Iron? Uses and Benefits Explained
Iron ore (in the form of pellets or lumps) is fed into a shaft furnace, where it is heated to around 800-1,000°C. The natural gas is reformed to produce a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which reacts with the iron ore to remove the oxygen and produce sponge iron. The reduced iron is then discharged from the furnace and cooled.
