Sintering mixes iron ore powder, return fines, and fluxes (like limestone, coke powder) and sinters at high temperatures to form strong sinter for blast furnaces. Pelletizing uses a disc pelletizer to mix iron ore powder with binders (like bentonite and quicklime) to form uniform pellets, ideal for fine concentrates.

The most common agglomeration technique is pelletization, which requires the use of binders to hold the iron oxide grains together so that the agglomerates can be sintered into high-strength pellets. Although bentonite clay is the most commonly used binder, there are many other possibilities that could be competitive in a number of situations.
