Pre-Reduction of Chromite by Thermogravimetric (TG) Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermogravimetric experiments on prereduction of single pellet and multiple pellets were conducted in Muffle furnace at 1500oC. Reduction smelting of Chromite in Fe-C melt in TG setup indicates CR is reduced faster than CG and CB. The reduction mechanism takes the path of first order reaction kinetics. Only 50% Cr metallization could be obtained at 1550oC from the reduction smelting experiments.
