Aa. Kazakov et al., ON ELECTROCHEMICAL NATURE OF THE (FEO)+C=CO+FE REACTION AND ITS CORRESPONDENCE TO EXISTING MODELS OF STRUCTURE OF SLAG MELTS, Russian metallurgy. Metally, (6), 1992, pp. 19-22
The course of the investigated reaction at the slag-graphite interface
is accompanied with the appearance of electric voltage. The phenomeno
n is explained from the standpoint of ionic structure of slag melts. U
nder natural conditions, the considered reaction proceeds with deviati
on from stoichiometry. The extent of this deviation can be varied by a
pplying electric voltage from an external power source to the reaction
surface.
