In this study, the production of samariumSamarium metal through the reductionReduction of samariumSamarium oxide using calcium as a reductant was systematically investigated.

摘要

In this study, the production of samariumSamarium metal through the reductionReduction of samariumSamarium oxide using calcium as a reductant was systematically investigated. ThermodynamicThermodynamic modeling, based on Gibbs energy minimization, was employed to calculate theoretical yields and the mole percentage of samariumSamarium in the Sm-Ca alloy. The study examined the effect of temperatureTemperature (800, 1000, 1200 °C) and calcium mole fraction (0.50–0.89) on samariumSamarium yield and samariumSamarium mol% in the Sm-Ca alloy. The results show that samariumSamarium yield decreases with increasing temperatureTemperature but improves significantly with higher calcium mole fractions. Simultaneously, samariumSamarium mol% in the alloy tends to decrease as excess calcium is introduced. The calculated results were also compared with literature data to evaluate and report the observed trends.
