Mit einem Bildanalysesystem werden die im Sinter mit unterschiedlicher Basizität sich ändernden Phasenanteile gemessen. Die bei höher basischem Sinter vermehrt auftretenden Schwierigkeiten der Differenzierung der Sinterphasen werden auf die Überlappung der Grauwertreflexionsbereiche von Kalkferriten und Magnetit zurückgeführt. In Gleichgewichtsmessungen mit CO/CO2‐Gemischen in einer Thermowaagenanlage konnte gezeigt werden, daß insbesondere der C2F nahezu unabhängig von der Temperatur erst bei einer Gaszusammensetzung von CO2’ = 21 % zu Eisen und CaO umgesetzt wird. Dieses Ergebnis ist um so mehr von Bedeutung, als daß alle Arten der Kalkferrite während ihrer Reduktionsumsetzung diesen Ferrit C2F bilden. Für den Sauerstoffaustausch zwischen absinkendem Möller und aufsteigendem reduzierendem Gas bedeutet die Reduktion der Ferrite C2F, CF und CF2 bei 900°C für die den Brennstoffverbrauch bestimmende Wüstitecke eine Verschiebung sowohl in Richtung mehr abzubauenden Sauerstoffes als auch zu höherem Reduktionspotential. Für eine ausgeglichene Wärme‐ und Sauerstoffbilanz im Hochofen bedeutet dies, daß das Reduktionsvermögen des aufsteigenden Gases an der den Brennstoffverbrauch bestimmenden Wüstitecke höher liegen muß. Dies hat zur Folge, daß zunehmende Kalkferritanteile im Sinter zu einem Anstieg des Brennstoffverbrauches führen.
A new measurement technique allows the continuous measurement of the oxygen contents of the wustite as a function of temperature without having to pass through the disintegration of the wustite to iron and magnetite and have the accompanying problems during the chemical analysis by cooling the sample. Measurements are carried out in form of isothermal oxygen reduction tests, starting with pure Fe2O3 in a thermogravimetric balance with an upstream gas mixer which, operating with CO2/CO gas mixtures, ensures a graduation of the input reduction potential CO'2 in steps of 1%. Simultaneous weighing of the test material sample permits, by means of the measured weight loss and relation to the charged amount of Fe2O3, a very accurate measurement of the oxygen concentration within the test material at any point in time during testing. Testing was carried out along these lines in the range between 700 and 1300°C. The results show that, at constant temperatures, the wustite oxygen contents decrease linearly from the right‐ to the left‐hand boundary of the wustite field, with the oxygen pressure of the gas phase (log pCO2/pCO or log pO2). When comparing these results with the findings of Darken and Gurry, a difference becomes apparent in the curves of the log pO2 values as a function of the temperature. While our own curves are substantiated by very many measured values, the curves of Darken and Gurry are based on only twenty‐three values at four different temperatures. Based on this result, systems of equations are developed which describe the homogeneous field of the wustite in the Fe‐O‐C reduction system without any gaps. An equivalent system of equations can also be developed from the values of a literature evaluation carried out by Giddings and Gordon. The curves resulting from the two equations do not differ very greatly. But the differences are large enough for corresponding variances to be expected when establishing the wustite boundaries and, thus, the position of the wustite field in the phase diagram.
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.
