Experimental and quantum chemical investigations on the generation mechanism of Al-V intermediate alloy by aluminothermic reduction of NaVO3

Aluminothermic reduction of CeO2: mechanism of an economical route to aluminum–cerium alloys

“…these highly exothermic reactions. Aluminothermic reactions with ZrO 2 , 12 MoO 3 , 13,14 NaVO 3 , 15 MgO, 16 and Cr 2 O 3 , 17 have been studied for industrial alloy production, while reduction of ZnO, 18,19 was investigated by preparing Al/Al 2 O 3 matrix composites.…”

“…Mechanistic understanding of metallothermic reactions supports the effective parameter optimization in industry but is still in its infancy due to the harsh reaction conditions of these highly exothermic reactions. Aluminothermic reactions with ZrO 2 , 12 MoO 3 , 13,14 NaVO 3 , 15 MgO, 16 and Cr 2 O 3 , 17 have been studied for industrial alloy production, while reduction of ZnO, 18,19 was investigated by preparing Al/Al 2 O 3 matrix composites.…”
