Pellets are obtained byadding an appropriate amount of water to the iron ore concentrate this is a fundamental factor in the formation and growth of pellets which creates a surface tension that holds the mineral grains cohesive thus allowing their handling [6 8] This cohesive tension of fine particles due to water is called neutral tension
