Abstract: | <p> The kinetics of the hematite to rnagnetite reduction have been studied in H2-H2O, and H2-H2O-N2 gas mixtures, using natural as well as synthetic specimens. The reactivity of hematite was found to be related to the structural defects formed during the preparation of the specimens. The type of defects formed and their effect on reactivity are discussed. Kinetic studies are performed on the specimens with reproducible properties. Rate expressions based upon suitable reaction mechanisms are derived and their validity checked with the experimental data. Reaction rate parameters for the expressions accurately interpreting the experimental results are evaluated, and the effect of nitrogen is separately established. Values of enthalpies and entropies for the mechanistic steps a.re calculated from the temperature dependence of these parameters, which reasonably support the proposed mechanism. </p> |
