The influences of process parameters on the metal extraction were studied, including the roasting temperature, roasting time, addition of CaO, H2SO4 concentration and liquid-solid ratio. Under the optimum condition, 94.2% of Ni, 98.1% of Cu, 92.2% of Co and 89.3% of Fe were recovered. Additionally, 99.6% of Fe was removed from the leachate as goethite by a subsequent goethite iron precipitation process. The behavior and mechanism of CaO additive in the roasting process was clarified. The role of CaO is to prevent the formation of nonferrous metal ferrite phases by a preferential reaction with Fe2O3 during the roasting process. The metal oxides(Cu O and NixCu1-xO) remained stable during high-temperature roasting and were subsequently efficiently leached using a sulfuric acid solution.展开更多

The microstructure and phase transition of the reduction products were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and optical microscopy (OM). It was found that the weight loss and iron metallization rate increased with the increase of reduction temperature and reaction time. The iron metallization rate could reach 87.5% when the sample was reduced at 1150℃ for 80 min. The final phase constituents mainly consist of Fe, M305 solid solution phase (M=Mg, Ti, and Fe), and few titanium oxide. Microstructure analysis shows that the surfaces of the reduction products have many holes and cracks and the reactions take place from the exterior of the grain to its interior. The kinetics of reduction indicates that the rate-controlling step is diffusion process control with the activation energy of 89 kJ.mo1-1.展开更多

It wasshown that the products of the Panzhihua ilmenite reduced at 900 °C were metallic iron and rutile. Above 1000 °C, ferrouspseudobrookite solid solution was generated. During the reduction process, element Mg gradually concentrated to form Mg-rich zonewhich can influence the metallization process. The reduction reaction proceeded topochemically and its related reduction kineticswere also discussed. The kinetics of the reduction indicated that the rate-controlling step was the diffusion process. The apparentactivation energy of the hydrogen reduction of Panzhihua ilmenite was calculated to be 117.56 kJ/mol, which was larger than that ofsynthetic ilmenite under the same reduction condition.展开更多

The electrochemical experiment was carried out in a molten fluxCaCl2-NaCl at 800℃ with a potential of 3.0 V. The results show that monolithic germanide Ti5Ge3 intermetallic can be directlyproduced from TiO2-GeO2 or CaTiO3-GeO2 precursors (both molar ratios are 5:3), and the obtained Ti5Ge3 powders exhibithomogenous particle structure. In addition, the phase composition of the final product can be dramatically affected by the initialmolar ratio of TiO2 to GeO2. The reaction mechanism of the electrodeoxidation process was discussed based on the experimentalresults. It is suggested that the electrodeoxidation process is an environmentally friendly method for the preparation of Ti-Geintermetallics.展开更多

The magnet scraps were first pulverized and oxidized at 1000℃ in normal atmosphere. The oxidized mixtures were then selectively reduced by carbon in the temperature range of 1400-1550℃. In this way, the rare earth elements were extracted to the form of oxides, whereas Fe and B were separated to metal phase. For improving the purity of rare earth oxides, the effects of temperature and reaction time on the reduction of B_(2)O_(3) in oxide phase were investigated. It is found that increasing reaction temperature and extending reaction time will help the reduction of B_(2)O_(3) contents in rare earth oxide phase. Almost all rare earth elements can be enriched in the oxide phase with the highest purity of 95 %.展开更多

However, the parameters of thermo-mechanical control process (TMCP) optimized by the Gleeble-3500 hot simulator could not satisfy performance requirements of the X100 pipeline steel. In order to improve the performance of this steel, the influence of finish cooling temperature (FCT) on the microstructure and property is studied in detail. It is found that, as this steel is thermo-mechanically treated by this set of parameters (the start heating temperature, finish rolling temperature (FRT), FCT and cooling rate of 1,180 ℃, 810 ℃, 350 ℃ and 35 ℃/s, respectively), the micro- structures are mainly composed of granular bainite (GB) and acicular ferrite (AF). The effective grain sizes are below 20 μm; the steel reaches the optimal balance between the strength and the toughness; the yield strength is 695 MPa; the tensile strength is 768 MPa; the elongation is 16.6 %; the impact energy is 262 J at room temperature. All indexes could meet the requirements of X100 pipeline steel.展开更多

It is found that the metallization rate of 20.1%–98.8%, H<sub>2</sub> consumption rate of 43.0%–99.1%, and carbon deposition amount of 5.7×10<sup>?7</sup>?0.49mol can be obtained based on the conditions of hydrogen volume fraction of 10%–90% and temperature of 450–1200°C. Experimental study was also carried out using synthetic ilmenite as initial materials and reduced in a static bed reactor at 1100°C. The metallization rate reaches 97% when the multiple gas (70% H<sub>2</sub>/10% CO/20% Ar) flow rate is 120ml·min<sup>?1</sup>. A thermogravimetric analyzer was used to measure the variation of sample weight caused by the deposition of solid carbon. The amount of carbon deposited during experiments reaches its maximum while the original hydrogen volume content is 20%. The experimental results are well consistent with the thermodynamic analysis.展开更多

文摘In this paper, the thermodynamics of the reduction of ilmenite using multiple gases (H<sub>2</sub>/CO) was calculated. It is found that the metallization rate of 20.1%–98.8%, H<sub>2</sub> consumption rate of 43.0%–99.1%, and carbon deposition amount of 5.7×10<sup>?7</sup>?0.49mol can be obtained based on the conditions of hydrogen volume fraction of 10%–90% and temperature of 450–1200°C. Experimental study was also carried out using synthetic ilmenite as initial materials and reduced in a static bed reactor at 1100°C. The metallization rate reaches 97% when the multiple gas (70% H<sub>2</sub>/10% CO/20% Ar) flow rate is 120ml·min<sup>?1</sup>. A thermogravimetric analyzer was used to measure the variation of sample weight caused by the deposition of solid carbon. The amount of carbon deposited during experiments reaches its maximum while the original hydrogen volume content is 20%. The experimental results are well consistent with the thermodynamic analysis.
文摘In this study, the Al-Fe-Mn ternary system is reassessed by the CALPHAD method. Three new ternary intermetallic compounds are initially described and a rea- sonable and self-consistent set of thermodynamic parameters are established to describe this system. The 973 K, 1 073K, 1 173K, 1 273K, 1 373K, and 1 473K isothermal sections and the 1 073 K, 1 013 K, 968 K and 913 K isothermal sections at the AI corner as well as the liquidus projection at the Al corner are calculated. It is shown that the calculated results are in good agreement with almost all of the experimental results previously reported.

文摘The permeability and stability of Sm_(0.7)Sr_(0.3)CoO_(3-δ)(SSCO) regarding the special requirements for carbon capture and storage(CCS) application were investigated.Pure CO_ was used as the sweep gas at 900 °C,leading to that the oxygen permeation flux decreases by about 34 %.Several cycles of changing the sweep gas between helium and CO_2 indicate the good reversibility of this degradation.Both carbonate formation and adsorption of CO_2 on the membrane surface are responsible for the degradation of the membrane performance.The better CO_2 resistance results from the substitution of Sm for Sr due to the higher acidity of Sm_2O_3(1.278) than that of Sr O(0.978) and a discontinuous layer of carbonate.
