Kinetic study on the metallothermic reduction of chromite ore using magnesium scrap

Abstract: A study on the metallothermic reduction of chromite ore is presented and discussed, using magnesium scrap as reducing agent. Microstructural analysis corroborated the distribution of phases inside the particles, where Fe and Cr were located at the centre surrounded by layers of reaction products, mainly MgO. The maximum conversion efficiency of Fe and Cr was 38% at 1050°C, after a reaction time of 3 hours, using 75% excess of magnesium scrap. A kinetic study was performed fitting the experimental data to avail… Show more

“…A critical factor is the effect of the initial concentration of Mg in the liquid alloy on the dissolution of solid particles of Mn oxides due to the tense-active nature of this element in molten aluminum. This leads to an improved wettability between the solid reagent and the molten metal, thus increasing the kinetics of the reactions at the solid-liquid interface [27][28][29][30].…”

“…Under these conditions, FeCr was located in the center of the reduced particles, surrounded by layers of MgO, with traces of MgAl 2 O 4 , AlN, and FeAl 2 O 4 , which limited the diffusion of magnesium or aluminum inside of the chromite particles, causing incomplete reduction. [ 21 ].…”
