Starch pellet binder is a bio-based material made from natural starch through modification processes, primarily used in the metallurgical industry to bind fine materials such as ore powder and dust into pellets.
Composition and Properties
Main Components: The primary component of starch pellet binder is modified starch, such as pre-gelatinized starch.
Properties: It exhibits good water solubility, binding ability, and pelletizing performance, enabling uniform distribution within the pellets to form a binder film that tightly bonds the pellet particles together.
Mechanism of Action
Binding Performance: Starch has high adhesiveness, which enhances the cohesion of ore powder and improves the compressive strength of pellets.
Pelletizing Performance: It helps form pellets with smooth surfaces and dense structures, contributing to increased strength and durability.
Application Scope
Metallurgical Industry: Used in the production of various sintered pellets from ore powders, such as iron ore powder, manganese ore powder, chromium ore powder, and phosphate ore powder.
Other Industries: Also applicable for producing cold-pressed pellets from non-metallic mineral powders, such as silicon carbide powder, fluorite powder, and graphite products.
Advantages
Environmental Friendliness: As a natural polymer material, starch pellet binder is biodegradable and recyclable, helping to reduce environmental pollution during production.
Economic Efficiency: The use of starch pellet binder lowers costs, saves energy, reduces emissions, and allows for the full utilization of residual waste.
Usage Precautions
Water and Moisture Protection: Store in a dry place, protected from water, moisture, and rain to prevent caking.
Caking Treatment: If the binder cakes, it should be crushed or dissolved before use, without affecting its performance.
