Application of vacuum distillation in refining crude indium

Vacuum distillation is a technique suitable for low boiling and melting point materials,to remove the heavy and low vapor pressure impurities at low level.As indium has low melting point and high boiling point,it is suitable for refining by vacuum distillation.First,saturation vapor pressure for major elements in crude indium was calculated by the Clausius–Clay Prang equation,which could approximately predict the temperature and pressure during vacuum distillation process.Second,the activity coefficients for In–Cd,In–Zn,In–Pb,In–Tl at 1373 K,and In–Sn at 1573 K were acquired by means of molecular interaction on volume model.Vapor–liquid equilibrium composition diagrams of those above systems in crude indium were drawn based on activity coefficients.These diagrams could estimate the compositions of products in each process during the refinement of crude indium.Finally,1.2–1.6 ton crude indium was used per day when vacuum distillation experiments were carried out,and experimental results are in good agreement with the predicted values of the vapor–liquid equilibrium composition diagrams.

Analysis of the behavior of magnesium and CO vapor in the carbothermic reduction of magnesia in a vacuum

The aim of this paper is to experimentally investigate the behavior of magnesium and carbon monoxide vapor in the carbothermic reduction of magnesia at condensing zone temperatures ranging from 923 K to 1223 K.The phase,surface morphology,and composition of the condensates obtained were examined by means of scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.The main findings of this paper include:the reverse reaction products,carbon and magnesium oxide,were formed following the process of magnesium vapor condensation,preventing two metal clusters from mutually combining.Moreover,the nearer the temperature of the condensation zone approached the liquid transformation temperature(810-910 K),the lower the rate of the reverse reaction between carbon monoxide and magnesium vapor.Decrease in the rate of the reverse reaction of magnesium was possible by controlling the condensation temperature.

Production of magnesium during carbothermal reduction of magnesium oxide by differential condensation of magnesium and alkali vapours

Most of researchers believed that the developments on the condensation of magnesium produced by carbothermic reduction just concentrated on two process routes:the“quench”route and the“solvent”route.But this paper will briefly analyzes the major challenges in magnesium vapor condensation during the vacuum carbothermic reduction of calcined dolomite,on equipment upgrade,heat transfers alter,to achieve condensation control and production collection.Solutions are then proposed using theoretical calculations and experiment results.Comparative analysis of the experiment results shows that the burning and even explosion of condensation products during the vacuum carbothermic reduction of calcined dolomite are mainly due to the burning of crystallized powder magnesium,which results from the self-ignition of alkali metals.Finally,this paper proposes a multistage condensation solution to improve traditional vacuum condensation equipment.And result show that the condensation equipment can effectively mitigate the burning and loss during condensation,also the morphology of the condensation products clearly improved,the grain size increased,and the oxidation rate decreased.The potassium/sodium vapor and the magnesium vapor were separately condensed.

Magnesium production by carbothermic reduction in vacuum

In present work,we investigate production of magnesium by carbothermic reduction under vacuum conditions.The process was divided into two parts,one is reduction process,and the other one is condensation process.The experimental results revealed that during reduction process,the gas-solid reaction between MgO and CO was not occurred at a temperature and pressure of 1723 K and 30-100 Pa respectively.So the main reduction reaction was MgO(_(s))+C(_(s))=Mg(_(g))+CO(_(g))(under vacuum)and reaction type belonged to solid-solid reaction.In Condensation Process,according to a contrast and analysis,the condensation quality of magnesium is associated with CO concentration.The resultant product C was formed and it followed magnesium vapor condensation which prevents mutual combination of two metal droplets to forms the compact condensation produces.Therefore,in order to compact morphological forms of magnesium crystal whiskers,we must control the technical conditions and find the method to separate the magnesium vapor and carbon monoxide.That's the key factor to get better crystalline structure.

Theoretical research on vacuum separation of Au-Ag alloy

To provide an accurate prediction of the product component dependence of temperature and pressure in vacuum distillation and give convenient and efficient guidance for the designing of the process parameters of industrial production, according to the molecular interaction volume model(MIVM), the separation coefficient(β) and vapor-liquid equilibrium composition of Au-Ag alloy at different temperatures are calculated. Combined with the vapor-liquid equilibrium(VLE) theory, the VLE phase diagrams, including the temperature-composition(T-x) and pressure-composition(p-x) diagrams of Au-Ag alloy in vacuum distillation are plotted. The triple points and condensation temperatures of gold and silver vapors are calculated as well. The results show that the β decreases and the contents of gold in vapor phase increase with the distillation temperature increasing. Low pressures have positive effect on the separation of Ag and Au. The difference between the condensation temperatures of gold and silver is about 450 K in the pressure range of 1-10 Pa.

Theoretical analysis and experimental verification of thermal decomposition mechanism of CuSe

Experiments on the thermal decomposition of CuSe were carried out by using a thermogravimetric analyzer(TGA)at different heating rates.The kinetic parameters and mechanisms were discussed based on model-free and model-based analyses.The decomposition rate and decomposition behavior of CuSe were investigated by using a vacuum thermogravimetric furnace.The results showed that the R3 model was identified as the most probable mechanism function under the present experimental conditions.The average values of activation energy and the pre-exponential factor were 12.344 J/mol and 0.152 s^(−1),respectively.The actual decomposition rate of CuSe was found to be 0.0030 g/(cm^(2)·min).
