Abstract

See full text

Provided is a method for producing a pellet capable of suppressing heat shock-induced crack occurrence, when nickel oxide ores are made into pellets and placed in a reducing furnace in a smelting process. In the method for producing a pellet from a nickel oxide ore, a nickel oxide ore, a binder and a carbonaceous reducing agent are mixed, the mixture is made into a lump, and then the resulting lump is subjected to a preheat treatment at a temperature of 350° C. to 600° C. In this preheat treatment, the lump more preferably undergoes the preheat treatment at a temperature of 400° C. to 550° C.
