A. Bandopadhyay et al., DETERMINATION OF KINETIC-PARAMETERS FOR THE REOXIDATION OF DIRECT REDUCED IRON UNDER RISING TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS, Thermochimica acta, 228, 1993, pp. 271-281
This paper presents the main kinetic parameters for the reoxidation of
direct reduced iron (DRI) samples in air under non-isothermal conditi
ons and compares the data with isothermal kinetic parameters for a typ
ical DRI sample. It is found that the non-isothermal activation energy
(DELTAE) values are less than the isothermal DELTAE values. For coal
based DRI, the non-isothermal DELTAE values lie in the range 20-35 kJ
mol-1. For gas based DRI the value is much higher, about 55 kJ mol-1.
For the reoxidation of DRI, the kinetic compensation effect (KCE) has
been found to be valid.
