Kinetic analysis of the reduction of zinc and iron oxides from dust and slurry

Abstract

The reduction of zinc and iron oxides from blast-furnace slurry and gas-purification dust at steel furnaces by heating with carbon is studied in physicochemical terms. Kinetic analysis reveals the optimal parameters of furnace reduction. Initial data are obtained for the development of a reduction technology for zinc and iron oxides. © 2013 Allerton Press, Inc.
