Effect of the carbon content on reduction and melting behavior of carbon composite iron ore pellet

Synopsis : The carburization reaction effected the rapid reduction and the separation process by means of the rapid heating of carbon composite iron o re pellets at the high temperatures. Therefore, it was considered that the carbon content of the pellet effects the behavior of this reaction signific antly. While carbon content of the pellet was increased, the melting and separatio n temperature was decreased. But when atmospheric temperature reached less than 1330 similar to 1380 degrees C, the melting and the separation of meta llic iron was repressed though the carbon content was increased. It was con sidered that this phenomenon was caused by decrease of the carburization sp eed, which accompanied with the stagnancy of the solution loss reaction and the generation of CO gas.
