    Process Modeling of Pellet Induration Furnaces
    (University of Minnesota Duluth, 2000-07-13) Davis, Richard A; Englund, David J
    This report completes a two-year collaborative effort between Minntac, NRRI Coleraine Minerals Laboratory and UMD Chemical Engineering, aimed at modeling the Minntac Line 6 GrateKiln induration system. The goals of this research were twofold: 1. Develop numerical models of existing taconite induration operations. 2. Demonstrate application of these models for process analysis leading to improved process efficiency defined by increased productivity and reduced fuel costs.
