Fundamental research during the past decade has been focussed on understanding the role of viscous forces on agglomerate deformability and strength. Much of this work has been done on glass spheres using Newtonian liquids as a binder. In this work, we show the variations in plasticity and strength of magnetite iron ore green pellets with varying liquid saturations and binder dosages (viscosities)...
