Fabrication of Iron Particles from Porous CaO and Molten Iron Sulfide using Spontaneous Wettability Conversion

Abstract

We propose a new method for fabricating iron particles from a porous CaO body and molten iron sulfide by spontaneous wettability conversion. We demonstrate the fabrication of iron particles via our proposed method. In the experiment, iron sulfide and a porous CaO body were reacted under a CO gas flow at 1823 K. Iron particles several micrometers in size were fabricated successfully using our method.
