Study on Reaction Order of Coal-Based Hydrogen-Carbon Coupling Reduction of Iron-Rich Nickel Slag
摘要
This study employed coal-based hydrogen–carbon coupling reduction technology to investigate the reduction of iron-containing phases in iron-rich nickel slag. The reaction order for reducing FeO to Fe was calculated using the differential method. Subsequently, the reaction order (n) was validated through reduction experiments on iron-rich nickel slag. The results indicated that the reaction order decreased with increasing temperature, while the reaction rate constant increased. Specifically, when the reduction temperature was raised from 1200°C to 1300°C, the reaction order decreased from 1.63 to 1.33, while the reaction rate constant increased from 0.031 to 0.165. The apparent activation energy for the reduction process was 40.35 kJ mol− 1.
