Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing an agglomerated raw material includes pressing and heating a raw material containing iron oxide having a particle size smaller than a preset particle size, thereby agglomerating the raw material. The raw material contains the iron oxide in an amount of more than 50% by mass, and the raw material is heated by electrical heating.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for producing an agglomerated raw material, comprising pressing and heating a raw material containing iron oxide having a particle size smaller than a preset particle size, thereby agglomerating the raw material, wherein the raw material contains the iron oxide in an amount of more than 50% by mass, and wherein the raw material is heated by electrical heating. 2 . The method for producing an agglomerated raw material according to claim 1 , wherein the raw material contains 10% by mass or more of a metal which deforms plastically during the pressing and heating. 3 . The method for producing an agglomerated raw material according to claim 2 , wherein the raw material is agglomerated by heating it at 700° C. or more while pressing it at 20 MPa or more. 4 . The method for producing an agglomerated raw material according to claim 2 , wherein the metal has an electrical conductivity of 11×10 6 S/m or more. 5 . A method for producing an agglomerated raw material, comprising pressing and heating a raw material containing iron oxide having a particle size smaller than a preset particle size, thereby agglomerating the raw material, wherein the raw material contains the iron oxide in an amount of more than 50% by mass, and wherein a pressure at which the raw material is pressed and a temperature at which the raw material is heated satisfy the following inequality (1): P ≥ 40 - ( T - 900 ) / 10 ( 1 ) where P is the pressure (MPa), and T is the temperature (° C.). 6 . A method for producing an agglomerated raw material, comprising pressing and heating a raw material containing iron oxide having a particle size smaller than a preset particle size, thereby agglomerating the raw material, wherein the raw material contains the iron oxide in an amount of more than 50% by mass, and wherein when the heating of the raw material is electrical heating, a pressure at which the raw material is pressed and a temperature at which the raw material is heated satisfy the following inequality (2): P ≥ 40 - ( T - 700 ) / 10 ( 2 ) where P is the pressure (MPa), and T is the temperature (° C.). 7 . The method for producing an agglomerated raw material according to claim 1 , wherein the raw material contains 10% by mass or more of a metal which deforms plastically during the pressing and heating and has an electrical conductivity of 11×10 6 S/m or more, and wherein a pressure at which the raw material is pressed and a temperature at which the raw material is heated satisfy the following inequality (3): P ≥ 40 - ( T - 500 ) / 10 ( 3 ) where P is the pressure (MPa), and T is the temperature (° C.). 8 . The method for producing an agglomerated raw material according to claim 3 , wherein the metal has an electrical conductivity of 11×10 6 S/m or more.
