Abstract The iron ore production has significantly expanded in recent years, owing to increasing steel demands in developing countries. However, the content of iron in ore deposits has deteriorated and lowgrade iron ore has been processed. The fines resulting from the concentration process must be agglomerated for use in iron and steelmaking.
