Main feed into a sinter plant is base mix, which consists of iron ore fines, coke fines and flux (limestone) fines. In addition to base mix, coke fines, flux fines, sinter fines, iron dust (collected from plant de-dusting system and electrostatic precipitator) and plant waste are mixed in proportion (by weight) in a rotary drum, often called mixing and nodulizing drum.
As a result, the overall productivity of the pellet plant can decrease by approximately 10 to 15% compared to the production of acid pellets, which do not include lime. Self-melting pellets are appreciated for their enhanced performance in blast furnaces but require consideration of the trade-offs in production efficiency. [18]
In the energy sector, wood pellets are often used to replace coal with power plants such as Drax, in England, replacing most of their coal use with woody pellet. As sustainably harvested wood does not lead to a long-term increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, wood fuels are considered to be a low-carbon form of energy. [ 10 ]

A pellet truck being filled at a plant in Germany. Pellets are produced by compressing the wood material which has first passed through a hammer mill to provide a uniform dough-like mass. [14] This mass is fed to a press, where it is squeezed through a die having holes of the size required, normally 6 mm diameter, sometimes 8 mm or larger.
