Abstract
Compared with vacuum continuous magnesium smelting process, it has the advantages of low carbon, energy saving and continuous production. In the process of magnesium vapor condensation, the flow field disturbance caused by the carrier gas destroys the free diffusion crystallization of magnesium vapor, and usually exhibits a powder crystalline state. In this paper, the condensation nucleation model is constructed based on the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, and the large-size crystallization method of magnesium vapor particles carried by carrier gas is reported. The results show that the condensation efficiency increases by 20.3 % with the increase of crystal size after process optimization, the carbon emission produced by producing tons of magnesium decreases by 2.23–2.63t, and the energy consumption decreases by 0.609–0.710tce.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
