Mechanically activated carbothermic reduction of llmenite

摘要

A systematic study of the effect of milling conditionson the low-temperature carbothermic reduction of the mineralilmenite has been carried out. It was found that after ball milling ofan ilmenite carbon mixture at room temperature, the ilmenite wasreduced to rutile and metallic iron during subsequent low-temperature annealing (760℃for 30 minutes).
