Reduction kinetics of titanomagnetite concentrate briquettes produced from Rossetta-llmenite ore via 1.5 liter/min hydrogen flow rate were investigated at different temperatures ranging from 600˚C to 950˚C. It was found that the best reduction properties were found at 950˚C, so the kinetic models shown by the briquettes at this temperature maybe: Diffusion control or Diffusion through ash layer (crank-cinslling-Broushten equation). And the apparent activation energy calculated for these models was 33.223 and 30.389 kJ/mole respectively. Also the main crystalline phases of reduced briquettes at 950˚C were metallic iron (syn. Fe), rutile (syn. TiO2) and some traces of magnetite (Fe3O4).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
