In order to aggrandize the research of the calcination process, the kinetics and reaction mechanism of the calcinations were studied. The result suggests that there are two stages in the calcination process, and the alumina extraction rate increases swiftly in the initial stage, but slows down increasing in the later stage. The apparent activation energy of the initial and later stages equals to 13.31 and 35.65 kJ·mol-1, respectively. In the initial stage, ammonium sulfate reacts directly with mullite in the fly ash to form ammonium aluminum sulfate, while in the later stage, aluminum sulfate is formed by the reaction between ammonium aluminum sulfate and ammonium sulfate.展开更多
The volatilization kinetics of senarmontite（Sb_2O_3） was analyzed in a neutral atmosphere in two temperature ranges： 550-615 °C（roasting temperature） and 660-1100 °C（melting temperature） by using a th...The volatilization kinetics of senarmontite（Sb_2O_3） was analyzed in a neutral atmosphere in two temperature ranges： 550-615 °C（roasting temperature） and 660-1100 °C（melting temperature） by using a thermogravimetric analysis method under various gas flow rates and using a 1.3 m L ceramic crucible（11 mm in internal diameter and 14 mm in height）. The effect of particle size was also analyzed. The experimental results of mass loss data, X-ray diffraction（XRD） analysis of partially reacted samples and thermodynamic studies indicate that the senarmontite becomes volatile in the form of Sb_4O_6（g） without the formation of any intermediary compound in the entire temperature range. At roasting temperatures, the volatilization kinetics of Sb_2O_3 was analyzed using the model X=kappt. The volatilization reaction was controlled by the surface chemical reaction and an activation energy value of 193.0 k J/mol was obtained in this temperature range. Based on the volatilization kinetics at the melting temperatures, for linear behaviour in nitrogen gas, kinetic constants were determined, and an activation energy of 73.9 k J/mol was calculated for the volatilization reaction with a surface area of 8.171×10^（-5）m^2.展开更多
