Abstract
The kinetics of air copper slag oxidation under nonisothermal conditions is studied using simultaneous TG–DTA at a varying heating rate of slag and flow rate of the oxidizing gas flux. The values of the kinetic parameters, activation energy and pre-exponential factor, have been determined based on: data from DTA by the methods of Kissinger and Ozawa; data from TG using an isoconversion method and the computation procedures of Ozawa–Flynn–Wall and Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose. No relationship between the kinetic parameters and the oxidation gas flow rate has been established. The changes of the phase composition with temperature are investigated by X-ray powder diffraction analysis on the basis of data obtained for the products formed at the different stages of the oxidation process. The morphology of the oxidized slag as well as the elements distribution is studied by electron microscopy and EDS analysis.
