It wasshown that the products of the Panzhihua ilmenite reduced at 900 °C were metallic iron and rutile. Above 1000 °C, ferrouspseudobrookite solid solution was generated. During the reduction process, element Mg gradually concentrated to form Mg-rich zonewhich can influence the metallization process. The reduction reaction proceeded topochemically and its related reduction kineticswere also discussed. The kinetics of the reduction indicated that the rate-controlling step was the diffusion process. The apparentactivation energy of the hydrogen reduction of Panzhihua ilmenite was calculated to be 117.56 kJ/mol, which was larger than that ofsynthetic ilmenite under the same reduction condition.展开更多
The compressive deformation behavior of 95CrMo hypereutectic steel was studied at temperatures ranging from 800 to 1050 ℃ and strain rates from 0.1 to 3 s-1 on a Gleeble-3500 thermo-simulation machine.

The results showed that, with the decrease in deformation temperature and increase in strain rate, the fragmented retained austenite in finer and distributed more uniformly in the ferrite matrix as a result of the inhibited recovery. The recorded flow stress suggested that the stress level decreases with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate. Based on the classical stress-dislocation relation, the constitutive equations of flow stress determined by work-hardening and softening mechanisms were estab- lished. A comparison between the experimental and calculated values confirmed the reliability of the model, and the predictability of the model was also quantified in terms of correlation coefficients and average absolute relative errors, which were found generally above 0.99 and below 2.50%, respectively. In the whole range of strain rate, the activation energy is 419.84 kJ/mol. By further identification based on Sch6ck's model and Kocks-Argon-Ashby model, the rate- controlling mechanism is found to be dislocation cross-slip.展开更多

Based on a thermodynamic study of 5 wt.%Si high-silicon austenitic stainless steel(SS-5Si)smelting using CaF2-CaO-Al203-Mg-Si02 slag to obtain a low oxygen content of less than 10×10-4 wt.%,a kinet...Based on a thermodynamic study of 5 wt.%Si high-silicon austenitic stainless steel(SS-5Si)smelting using CaF2-CaO-Al203-Mg-Si02 slag to obtain a low oxygen content of less than 10×10-4 wt.%,a kinetic mass transfer model for deep deoxidation was established through laboratory studies,and the effects of slag components and temperature on deoxidation during the slag-steel reaction process of sS-5Si were systematically studied.The experimental data verified the accuracy of the model predictions.The results showed that the final oxygen content in the steel at 1873 K was mainly controlled by the oxygen content derived from the activity of SiO2 regulated by the[Si]-[O]equilibrium reaction in the slag system;in particular,when the slag basicity R(R=w(CaO)/w(SiO2),where w(CaO)and w(SiO2)are the contents of CaO and SiO2 in the slag,respectively)is 3,the Al2O3 content in the slag needs to be less than 2.7%.The mass transfer rate equation for the kinetics of the deoxidation reaction revealed that the mass transfer of oxygen in the liquid metal is the rate-controlling step under different slag conditions at 1873 K,and the oxygen transfer coefficient ko.m increases with increasing the slag basicity from 4.0×10-6m s-1(R=1)to 4.3×10-5 m s-1(R=3).ko.m values at R=2 and R=3 are almost the same,indicating that high slag basicity has little effect.The integral of the mass transfer rate equation for the deoxidation reaction of SS-5Si under different slag conditions is obtained.The total oxygen content of the molten steel decreases with increasing basicity from an initial content of 22×10-4 to 3.2×10-4 wt.%(R=3),consistent with the change in ko.m with slag basicity.At R=2,the slag-steel reaction takes 15 min to reach equilibrium(w[O]=5.5×10-4 wt.%),whereas at R=3,the slag-steel reaction takes 30 min to reach equilibrium(w[0]=3.2×10-4 wt.%).Considering the depth of deoxidation and reaction time of SS-5Si smelting,it is recommended the slag basicity be controlled at approximately 2.Similarly,the effect of temperature on the deep deoxidation of SS-5Si was studied.展开更多
The demanganization reaction kinetics of carbon-saturated liquid iron with an eight-component slag consisting of CaO–SiO2–MgO–FeO–MnO–Al2O3–TiO2–CaF2 was investigated at 1553, 1623, and 1673 K in this study. Th...The demanganization reaction kinetics of carbon-saturated liquid iron with an eight-component slag consisting of CaO–SiO2–MgO–FeO–MnO–Al2O3–TiO2–CaF2 was investigated at 1553, 1623, and 1673 K in this study. The rate-controlling step(RCS) for the demanganization reaction with regard to the hot metal pretreatment conditions was studied via kinetics analysis based on the fundamental equation of heterogeneous reaction kinetics. From the temperature dependence of the mass transfer coefficient of a transition-metal oxide(MnO), the apparent activation energy of the demanganization reaction was estimated to be 189.46 kJ·mol^–1 in the current study, which indicated that the mass transfer of MnO in the molten slag controlled the overall rate of the demanganization reaction. The calculated apparent activation energy was slightly lower than the values reported in the literature for mass transfer in a slag phase. This difference was attributed to an increase in the "specific reaction interface"(SRI) value, either as a result of turbulence at the reaction interface or a decrease of the absolute amount of slag phase during sampling, and to the addition of calcium fluoride to the slag.展开更多

摘要The reactions between CO2 gas and liquid Fe-C alloy with different initial carbon concentrations at 1873 K were investigated using experimental results,thermodynamic equilibrium,and kinetic analysis.The average CO2 conversion is greater than 80%when the carbon content ranges from 4.0 to 1.0 wt.%.When the carbon content decreases from 0.5 to 0.1 wt.%,the average CO2 conversion diminishes from 83.50%to 40.84%.This proves that CO2 gas and liquid Fe-C alloy reaction does not reach equilibrium under experimental conditions compared with the calculated thermodynamic data.Through the kinetic analysis,it is shown that in the medium-to high-carbon liquid Fe-C alloys,the rate-controlling step involves CO2 gas mass transfer or mixed rate-controlling of CO2 gas mass transfer with adsorption and dissociation of CO2 gas.In contrast,in the low-carbon liquid Fe-C alloy,carbon mass transfer occurs in the molten alloy.The critical carbon content of the rate-controlling step transformation is 0.7937 wt.%.

摘要An important factor to evaluate reservoir quality is the pore-throat size.However,the strong heterogeneity makes it difficult to characterize the pore-throat distribution in tight reservoirs.The field emission scanning electron microscope(FESEM),high pressure mercury injection and rate-controlled mercury injection are used to investigate the pore-throat size distribution in tight sandstone reservoirs of Member 7 of the Yanchang Formation in eastern Gansu,Ordos Basin,and studies of the pore throat size controlling on physical property of the tight sandstone reservoirs are also carried out.The result shows that the pore type is mainly dominated by the residual intergranular pore,dissolution pore,micropore and a few micro-fractures;the high-pressure mercury injection experiment indicates that the pore-throat size ranges from 0.0148 μm to 40mm,the pore throat more than 1 mm is less;the ratecontrolled mercury injection experiment reveals that for samples with different physical properties,the pore radius mainly varies from 80 μm to 350 μm;the throat radius exhibits the strong heterogeneity,and is from 0.12 μm to 30μm;the pore-throat size can be effectively characterized by combination of high-pressure and rate-controlled mercury injections,and it varies from 0.0148 μm to 350 μm.The permeability is mainly controlled by the large pore throat(>R50)which accounts for a small proportion;in the tight sandstone with the permeability greater than 0.1 mD,the permeability is mainly controlled by the micropore and mesopore;in the tight sandstone with the permeability smaller than 0.1 mD,the permeability is mainly controlled by the nanopore and micropore;the proportion of small pore throat increases with reduction of permeability,it is important that the small pore throat influences the reservoir storage property though its effect on permeability are small.
