Iron ore pellets have their properties strongly dependent on the nature of the phases present in the slags formed during pelletization. In this work are presented the first results of a research program involving the utilization of phosphorous bearing iron ores in the production of DR pellets (Direct Reduction pellets). Aiming at this, synthetic slags, produced with same composition of the gangue of a commercial DR pellet, were submitted to operational conditions similar to those of the industrial pelletizing process, but performed in a pot-grate reactor and in a laboratory furnace. The obtained slags samples were cooled at different rates, permitting to observe that at high cooling rates the slags obtained were amorphous, suggesting the occurrence of a similar amorphous structure for the slags present in the DR pellets. Finally, tests developed for a selective analysis of phosphorous in oxide phases, showed better efficiency when applied to amorphous slags than in crystalline ones. Further, the behavior of the phosphor dissolution in the obtained slags during the heating of pellet feed samples was evaluated. In this phase different temperatures, resident times and basicities were tested using a laboratory furnace. The results indicated improvements in the phosphor dissolution with the basicity increase when temperatures above 900 Celsius degrees were applied.
