The effects of xC/xO and the atmospheres on the extent of reduction also were investigated. The results indicate that the fractional reaction increased proportionally with temperature increasing and heating temperature is the significant influence factor to the reaction of carbon bearing pellets. The optimum xC/xO is 1.2 and the effect of atmosphere on the reduction of iron oxides is almost negligible. The results can be interpreted that the reaction was initially controlled by a mixed controlled mechanism of carbon gasification and interface chemical reaction, and in the later stage, interface chemical reaction became the rate-controlling step. Apparent activation energy values of reduction at different levels of fractional reaction were calculated. Before F （fraction of reaction）=0.5, the apparent activation energy ranges from 66.39 to 75.64 kJ/mol, while after F=0.5, the apparent activation energy is 80.98 to 85.37 kJ/mol.展开更多

In order to study the influence of H2 and CO on the reduction behavior of pellets, experiments were conducted with H2-N2, CO N2 or H2-CO gas mixtures at 1 173 K by measuring the mass loss, respectively. It was found that the reduction degree in creased with increasing the ratio of H2 or CO in the gas mixture, but the reduction with hydrogen was faster than that with carbon monoxide. The reduction degree could reach 96. 720/00 after 65 rain for the reduction with 50~ H2 ＋ 50% N2, while it is only 53.37~ for the reduction with 50~ COq-50~ N2. The addition of hydrogen to carbon monoxide will accelerate the reduction because the hydrogen molecules are more easily chemisorbed and reacted with iron oxide than carbon monoxide. A scanning electron microscope was used to characterize the structures of reduced samples. Dense structure of iron was obtained in the reduction with hydrogen while the structure of iron showed many small fragments for the reduction with carbon monoxide. At the later stage of reduction with the gas mixtures containing carbon monoxide, the reduction curves showed a descending trend because the rate of carbon deposition caused by the thermal decomposition of carbon monoxide was faster than the rate of oxygen loss. Compared with the reduction with CO-N2 and H2 CO gas mixtures, H2 gas could enhance the carbon deposition while N2 gas would re- duce this phenomenon. The results of X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis demonstrated that the carbons are mainly in the form of cementite （FeaC） and graphite in reduced sample.展开更多
