Abstract
With increasing impetus to utilize more waste byproducts from ironmaking processes, a greater understanding of processes that utilize these wastes is required. In this article, the kinetics of reaction of briquettes consisting of ultrafine iron oxide and carbon are examined representing a progression in the understanding of methods to utilize fine iron oxide and carbon resulting from all stages of processing. More specifically, this article examines the role of the Boudouard reaction and its level of control in such reaction systems for the temperature range of 1000 °C to 1200 °C. Various techniques were used to examine this role, including investigating the effect of the surface area of the carbon used, the effect of a known Boudouard reaction catalyst, and the effect of temperature.
