Nanometer-sized hematite was prepared via a two-step process. In the first step, FeSO4·7H2O was oxidized to Fe2(SO4)3 by oxygen in an acidic solution. In the second step, the Fe2(SO4)3 was ...
In order to understand the pre-reduction behaviour of fine hematite particles in the HIsarna process, change of morphology, phase and crystallography during the reduction were investigated in the high temperature drop tube furnace. Polycrystalline magnetite shell formed within ...
Suspension reduction kinetics of hematite ore particles at 1710 K to 1785 K was described by the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov model with Avrami exponent of 1.405. The apparent activation energy is 105.5 kJ mol−1 with the rate determining step of nucleation and gro ...
For both the waste treatment of large quantities of blast furnace (BF) slag and carbon dioxide (CO2) that are discharged in ironworks, mineral carbonation by BF slag was proposed in this decade. However, it has not been widely used due to its high energy consumption ...
In order to understand the thermal decomposition kinetics of hematite particles in inert atmosphere, thermogravimetriy was employed for isoconversional analysis. The kinetic triplet was estimated from the experimental data and the isothermal reaction kinetics was predicted. Th ...
High-temperature reduction processes of iron oxide particles suspension are promising in carbon emission abatement. Recently, researchers have contributed abundant knowledge of the reaction mechanism and kinetics of iron oxide particles above 1473 K, while there was very limit ...
Decreasing the preheating temperature is an effective step to control the energy consumption in the hot rolling process. In order to obtain the lowest preheating temperature to prepare enough thickness of oxide scale in the hot rolling process, the oxidation resistance of comm ...
An innovative electroslag remelting furnace with a water-cooled electrode was introduced to recycle the rejected electrolytic manganese metal (EMM) scrap. To clarify the desulfurization process in the rejected EMM scrap, a transient three-dimensional comprehensive numerical mo ...
Solar energy has received considerable attention over the past few decades, due to its importance as a green and renewable energy. Low-cost solar-grade silicon production is critical for the widespread use of solar cells. Conventional routes (e.g., modified Siemens process: ch ...
HIsarna is a promising ironmaking technology to reduce CO 2 emission. Information of phase tr ...
The increasing amount of silicon waste generated from the rapid developing photovoltaic industry calls for an economical silicon recycling process. The present work proposes a facile process with which silicon waste and ironmaking slag containing TiO2 were used as r ...
Hydrogen has received much attention in the development of direct reduction of iron ores because hydrogen metallurgy is one of the effective methods to reduce CO2 emission in the iron and steel industry. In this study, the kinetic mechanism of reduction of hematite ...
Carbon deposition on nickel powders in methane involves three stages in different reaction temperature ranges. Temperature programing oxidation test and Raman spectrum results indicated the formation of complex and ordered carbon structures at high deposition temperatures. The ...
Melting and reduction of fine iron ore particles in the gas environment of a HIsarna smelting cyclone is a critically important topic, but very limited information is currently available except for some experimental data from high temperature drop tube furnace (HTDF). This wor ...
