The experimental results indicate that all the alkali chlorides can speed up the reduction process of pre oxidized ilmenite, moreover, KCl is the most effective catalyst of the chlorides, while the catalytic effects of LiCl and CsCl are relatively weaker. It seems that the catalytic mechanism of LiCl is different from those of the other alkali chlorides. The cross sectional morphology of the partially reduced pre oxidized ilmenite particles and the distribution of potassium ions within them were examined by means of scanning electronic microscopy and electronic probe microanalysis, respectively, which shows that the reduction proceeds topochemically and the alkali ion enriches at the periphery of the particles.[展开更多
