It is established that there are three stages in molding mixture pelletization: nucleus formation, granule growth, and mass transfer between them. Addition of a surfactant improves granulation capacity and reduces molding moisture content, and increases raw granule strength. The fineness of the starting material has a significant effect on capillary reaction forces that are fundamental during molding mixture pelletization.
