Agglomerated ore assessing method and agglomerated ore
Abstract
An agglomerated ore is reduced while being subjected to a predetermined load at 1000° C. to 1200° C., both inclusive, to produce a reduced aggregate; a tumble treatment is performed on the reduced aggregate using a tumble tester; cluster strength CS of the reduced aggregate calculated by Formula (1) below is measured; and a clustering property of the agglomerated ore is assessed using the cluster strength CS: CS=(W′/W)×100 . . . (1), where CS is cluster strength (mass %); W is the mass (g) of a reduced aggregate that is equal to or larger than a maximum particle diameter of the agglomerated ore; and W′ is the mass (g) of a reduced aggregate after a tumble treatment in the tumble tester that is equal to or larger than the maximum particle diameter of the agglomerated ore.
