Iron ore having high-sulfur content causes problems in the concentrate production, pelletizing, and steel-making processes and environmental issues such as sulfur dioxide emission during the concentrate pelletizing process, and effect on steel quality. The current study was focused on the removal of sulfur from iron ore concentrate using chemical leaching technique. Magnetite iron ore concentrate was chosen for this purpose. The results obtained from the study showed that more than 90% of the total sulfur content was removed from the iron ore concentrate by the chemical leaching. Effects of several parameters, including temperature, stirring speed, particle size, and use of organic solvent on the sulfur removal was investigated by a series of experimental conditions. After optimizing the experimental conditions, it was demonstrated that in addition to sulfur, more than 80% of phosphorus, another important impurity, was also removed from the iron ore concentrate. In addition, one of the major advantages of our proposed method was the transformation of mineral pyrites to useful byproducts such as elemental sulfur.

In this study, sodium, calcium, and mixed bentonite samples were used as binders in the pelletizing fine iron ore concentrate obtained from the Divrigi Iron Ore Concentration Plant in Turkey. In the pelletizing tests, sodium bentonite sample was used as received and after upgrading process. Additionally, the calcium bentonite sample required activation by sodium bicarbonate while the mixed bentonites sample was used untreated and as well as activated. The pellets produced were tested for compressive strengths, drop number, and porosity in order to characterize the pellets. The results showed that untreated and upgraded sodium bentonite samples provided relatively stronger pellets compared to calcium and the mixed type bentonite samples needed activation with sodium bicarbonate to increase the strength of the pellets. Based on the results of the drop number, compressive strengths, and porosity, it is possible to make pellets which meet the standards by adequate addition of type and amount of bentonite.
