Effects of gangue compositions on reduction process of carbonbearing iron ore pellets

The influence of gangue compositions (mainly composed of SiO2,CaO,MgO and Al2O3)on the reduction kinetics of carbon-bearing iron ore pellets was estimated at 1373-1473 K in N2 atmosphere.The results showed that gangue content and each component distribution affected the pellets reduction process.The reduction rate was found to follow a linear correlation with quaternary basicity R4 [mass ratio of (CaO +MgO)to (SIO2 +Al2O3)]of the carbon-beating iron ore pellets;also,the content of SiO2 solid solution in iron oxide had a significant impact on the reduction rate.At the same reduction temperature,a higher R4 resulted in a lower SiO2 free content,weakening its inhibitory effect on the Boudouard reaction.The reduction temperature of Fe2SiO4 could be reduced by increasing the contents of CaO and MgO,improving the iron oxide reduction as well as the precipitation and growth of the iron grains.The g'angue content and .component distribution showed no effect on the rate-controlling step of the reduction;however,the apparent activation energy of reaction decreased with increasing quaternary basicity.When R4 increased from 0.15 to 0.67,the apparent activation energy decreased from 228.51 to 193.66 kJ/mol.

氩气氛铬铁矿含碳球团还原动力学

用热重法研究了铬铁矿含碳球团在氩气流中还原过程动力学,考察了还原温度、球团中配碳量和铬铁矿粉粒度等对还原过程的影响。应用颗粒模型对还原过程的实验数据进行了动力学解析,发现在本实验条件下,球团还原中对速度的限制步骤是铬铁矿颗粒还原产物层中的内扩散过程。进一步的分析步明,在 1 200℃ 以下和以上两个温度区间,该内扩散过程的活化能不同。分别求出了这两个区间的有效内扩散系数的阿仑尼乌斯表达式,得到了铬铁矿含碳球团还原过程的综合速度式。应用所获得的动力学方程对不同加热条件下的还原过程进行模拟计算,与实验结果相当符合。
