摘要:
A process for the production of a metal product which comprises subjecting a mixture of at least one reducible metal compound and at least one reducing agent to mechanical activation to produce a metal or alloy. Preferably, the mechanical activation is performed in an inert or reducing atmosphere. More than one reducing agent may be used. A ceramic material may be produced by including a nonmetal, or a compound which provides the nonmetal, into the starting materials. At least one other metal or a metalloid may be included in the starting materials for incorporation into the final product.

In a method of producing metals or metal alloys by reducing their halides in a hydrogen plasma, a plasma jet reaction zone is built up from the vaporized metal halides contained in the plasma gas together with hydrogen, and the molten metal formed jets from the plasma jet reaction zone into a mould arranged therebelow. An arrangement for carrying out this method includes a reaction vessel whose upper part has a reaction space for the metal halide to be reduced and hydrogen-containing plasma gas, and a plasma lance arranged centrally in the reaction vessel, the metal formed getting into the lower part of the reaction vessel forming a metal sump therein.

The resistivity of a conductor of a refractory metal such as molybdenum is reduced by converting at least a portion of the conductor into a layer of molybdenum nitride in an atmosphere including ammonia at a temperature in the range from about 400.degree. C. to about 850.degree. C. and thereafter heating the conductor in an atmosphere including dry hydrogen in the range from about 950.degree. C. to about 1000.degree. C. for a time to convert the layer of molybdenum nitride into molybdenum and to convert molybdenum oxides in the conductor into molybdenum.

Substantially completely deoxidized, consolidated dispersion-strengthened copper stock of sizable cross section and particulates capable of being thus consolidated into such stock are shown. The stock exhibits ductility substantially greater than that of otherwise corresponding stock which contains about 100-500 ppm of available oxygen. Also shown is a staged powder deoxidation process using hydrogen or like reducing gas followed by the sequestration of remaining available oxygen with a minute proportion of diffusible, normally solid oxygen getter.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for smelting a sulfidic ore concentrate such as a copper concentrate in which the concentrate is smelted in an oxidizing atmosphere, the melt is after-treated with reducing gases from a plurality of lances which blow the reducing gases onto the melt in the form of concentrated streams of high kinetic energy and form a metal-rich phase and a slag phase. The improvement of the present invention is concerned with oxidizing the concentrate sufficiently to form an enriched metal matte containing more than 75% by weight metal at a throughput of more than 500 metric tons per day, the oxidizing being carried out in a smelting cyclone operating as a steam generator and at a sufficiently high temperature so that the heat transferred to the cyclone walls is at least 500,000 Kcal/sq. m. of cyclone wall/hr.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for smelting an ore concentrate or the like wherein the concentrate is first melted in an oxidizing atmosphere and the smelt is aftertreated with reducing gases to recover the metal values. The improvement consists in positioning a plurality of rows of lances in a smelting reactor in the direction of molten metal flow, the spacing between the rows of lances being substantially greater than the spacing between individual lances in each row. The reducing gas is blown with a high kinetic energy through each lance to cause an area of toroidal bath movement to occur where the gases from each lance impinge against the moving smelt. The spacing between the rows of lances is sufficiently large so that a relatively quiescent zone exists between the areas of toroidal bath movement between each of the rows. The molten metal and a relatively metal-free slag are withdrawn separately from the furnace enclosure.

A process for the manufacture of acicular ferromagnetic iron particles by heating a goethite, provided with a shape-stabilizing surface coating, at 250.degree.-450.degree. C. in an atmosphere containing water vapor at a partial pressure of not less than 30 mbar, to give alpha-iron(III) oxide, and reducing this material with hydrogen at 275.degree.-425.degree. C., and the use of the iron particles thus obtained as magnetic material in the production of magnetic recording media.
摘要:
An improvement in a method for the batchwise gaseous reduction of iron ore to sponge iron in a multiple unit reactor system including a cooling reactor and a series of reduction reactors. Reduction is effected with a gas composed largely of carbon monoxide and hydrogen generated by reforming a mixture of steam and natural gas or other gaseous hydrocarbons at an elevated temperature. The reducing gas pressure drop through the system is decreased by using an out-of-line cooling reactor and cooling gas loop, thereby making it feasible to use three or more reduction reactors in series and thus enhance the efficiency of utilization of the reducing gas. Also the use of an out-of-line cooling reactor permits independent control of both the gas flow rate and gas composition in the cooling loop.

In the process for preparing a magnetically stable, powder comprising the steps of reducing an iron oxide or iron oxide hydrate with a gaseous reduction agent and stabilizing the metallic powder thus produced, the improvement which comprises enhancing its reduction by coating said iron oxide or iron oxide hydrate with an antimony compound at a level of up to about 7 weight percent antimony based on the weight of the iron oxide prior to said reduction.
