Carbothermic reduction of ilmenite and its alteration products using hypercoal
Titanium carbide and titanium oxycarbide have been obtained from gravity concentrate of natural titanium-bearing sandstones (Pizhemskoye deposit, Russia) in which titanium is associated with ilmenite alteration products - pseudorutile (electromagnetic fraction P4em) and rutile (non-magnetic fraction P4nm). The P4em is dominated by the products of the exogenous-hypergenic alteration of ilmenite: low-crystalline oxyhydroxide titanium phases, primarily pseudorutile (Fe₂Ti₃O₉). The total content of low crystalline titanium phases is approximately 60–65 %. The P4nm is represented by highly crystalline rutile (approximately 65 %). For the first time, hypercoal obtained from low-grade coal was used as a reducing agent. Carbothermic reduction in of electromagnetic and non-magnetic fractions of gravity concentrates an inert atmosphere at 1500 °C lead to formation of cubic and hexagonal TiC phases. The lattice parameter calculated from the structural reflection (220) belongs to the ordered Ti2C phase for samples synthesised using electromagnetic fraction. The samples obtained by non-magnetic fraction reduction the formation of titanium oxycarbide have been detected. Titanium carbide particles of two morphological types have been synthesised. The shape of crystals of the first morphological type is characterised by an isometric habitus close to cubic. Aggregates of the second morphotype are represented by dendrite-like aggregates of titanium carbide crystals. FeSi particles are found on the surface of titanium carbide aggregates in the form of spherical inclusions with a diameter of 2–3 μm. Thermodynamic analysis of the reactions was carried out and the mechanism of pseudorutile reduction with formation of titanium carbide or oxycarbide was proposed as follows: Fe2Ti3O9 → TiO2/TiO + Fe → TiO + Fe → TiCxOy/TiCx□(1–x).
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials (IJRMHM) publishes original research articles concerned with all aspects of refractory metals and hard materials. Refractory metals are defined as metals with melting points higher than 1800 °C. These are tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, tantalum, niobium, hafnium, and rhenium, as well as many compounds and alloys based thereupon. Hard materials that are included in the scope of this journal are defined as materials with hardness values higher than 1000 kg/mm2, primarily intended for applications as manufacturing tools or wear resistant components in mechanical systems. Thus they encompass carbides, nitrides and borides of metals, and related compounds. A special focus of this journal is put on the family of hardmetals, which is also known as cemented tungsten carbide, and cermets which are based on titanium carbide and carbonitrides with or without a metal binder. Ceramics and superhard materials including diamond and cubic boron nitride may also be accepted provided the subject material is presented as hard materials as defined above.
