Abstract

The reduction rate of Mo oxide in slag by iron-carbon melt under different stirring conditions, reaction temperatures and slag composition has been investigated. Results indicate that the reduction of Mo oxide is a fast reaction; both stirring and temperature have evident influence upon the reaction; while the initial concentration of Mo oxide and content of fluoride in slag have also some influence upon the reaction. The reduction of Mo oxide is an apparent first order reaction. At 1440-1500 °C, the reduction rate of Mo oxide is mainly controlled by Mo transfer in slag, with its diffusion activation energy of 223 kJ/mol. At 1500-1590 °C, the transfer of Mo in metal turns to be the main limiting step, with its diffusion activation energy of 81.5 kJ/mol
