Abstract
Abstract The reduction kinetics of zinc calcine under a CO atmosphere was evaluated by isothermal reductive roasting in a temperature range of 600−800 °C. The extent of reaction of zinc calcine was measured using thermogravimetry (TG), and the decomposition mechanism of zinc ferrite in zinc calcine was analyzed based on variations in the soluble zinc and ferrous contents. The results indicate that the reaction was controlled by the nucleation of the products, with an apparent activation energy of 65.28 kJ/mol. The partial pressure of CO affected the reaction rate more strongly than the CO intensity (defined as PCO/(PCO+PCO2)). The generation rate of zinc oxide was higher than that of ferrous oxide; therefore, the nucleation of ferrous oxide is the rate-determining step of the reaction.
