Abstract
At present, the production of magnesium is mainly carried out semi-continuously with ferrosilicon as reducing agent under high temperature and high vacuum. In order to continuously produce magnesium, anew method of extracting magnesium from low-grade magnesite and calcium carbonate by silicothermal method in flowing inert gas was proposed. The effects of calcium fluoride(CaF2)on decomposition rate, decomposition kinetics, reduction rate of magnesia and crystal type of dicalcium silicate in reduction slag were investigated in the paper. The experimental results showed that calcium fluoride could accelerate the decomposition of carbonate, and had no side effect on the calcined products. In addition, the analysis results of DTA curves showed that calcium fluoridecould reduce the decomposition reaction activation energy and the reaction temperature of carbonatein the prefabricated pellets. The results of reduction experiments showed that proper calcium fluoridecould promote the reduction rate of magnesia, and in the temperature range of 1250? ~ 1350?, with same timeframe, the corresponding calcium fluoride contents were5%, 3% and 1% respectively when the reduction rate reached the maximum. Excessive calcium fluoride could reduce the reduction rate of magnesia, but it couldpromote the transformation of dicalcium silicate to ? phase in the reduction slag.
期刊介绍:
University of Belgrade, Technical Faculty in Bor, has been publishing the journal called Journal of Mining and Metallurgy since 1965 and in 1997 it was divided in two independent journals dealing with mining and metallurgy separately. Since 2009 Journal of Mining and Metallurgy, Section B: Metallurgy has been accepted in Science Citation Index Expanded.
Journal of Mining and Metallurgy, Section B: Metallurgy presents an international medium for the publication of contributions on original research which reflect the new progresses in theory and practice of metallurgy. The Journal covers the latest research in all aspects of metallurgy including hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, electrometallurgy, transport phenomena, process control, solidification, mechanical working, solid state reactions, materials processing, surface treatment and relationships among processing, structure, and properties of materials.
