In response to such problems as low pelletizing agglomerates rate, poor dry agglomerates strength, high recyclc ratio and high binder cost in the process of reductive dezincification of zinc-containing dust in a domestic steel plant, a new composite binder FHB is developed, and the effects of binder type, dosage, mixture moisture and forming pressure on the performance of raw and dry agglomerates of zinc-containing dust are investigated, while the dynamic drying performances of the raw agglomerates are compared. The results show that under the condition of 20 MPa forming pressure, 3.3% binder addition and 14% mixture moisture, the performance of raw agglomerates with compound binder FHB is similar to that with single organic binder YJB, but the drying performance and thermal stability of raw agglomerates are greatly improved, and the chalking rate with single additive is greatly reduced from 18% to 2.10%, which could ensure the smooth operation of the reductive dezincification process and reduce the operating cost.
