The results show that the extent of the reaction between alumina and carbon increases with increasing reaction temperature at 1643-1843 K; however, the extraction rate of aluminum increases firstly, and reaches the highest at 1743 K, and then decreases with rise in reaction temperature. The pre-reaction of alumina and carbon increases the extraction rate of aluminum. The impurities C, AlaC3 and A1203 in the aluminum product are reduced with reducing the contact surface of the aluminum with CO and with decreasing the condensation temperature, depending on the structure of the condenser.展开更多

It is demonstrated that the required temperatures for the reactions to form these impurities, the disproportionation of CO and the reactions of metallic aluminum with CO, decrease with decreasing pressure. The lg pCO-1/T diagram of metallic aluminum-CO system agrees with the experimental results, indicating that the reaction rate is very high and this system in vacuum is approximately in equilibrium; therefore, the equilibrium diagram can be used to predict the possible reactions in this system in vacuum.展开更多

The experiments on alumina and graphite at 1643-1843 K in vacuum were carried out. The results demonstrate that AlCl3(g) reacts with Al2O(g) or Al(g) generated from the carbothermal reduction of alumina to form AlCl(g), and the AlCl(g) disproportionates to aluminum and AlCl3(g) at a lower temperature and the reaction rate of AlCl(g) reaches 90% at 980 K and 100 Pa. The aluminum can absorb CO to catalyze its disproportionation to C and CO2, and react backward with CO to form Al4C3, Al2O3, C and CO2, resulting in the aluminum product containing C, Al4C3 and Al2O3. The impurities in the aluminum product decrease as the AlCl(g) disproportionation temperature decreases. AlCl3 condenses at a temperature approximated to the room temperature.展开更多

The industrial feed having different compositions of ethylbenzene and xylene isomers was used for the experimentation. Hence, they were expected to hinder the movement of reactant molecules both on the external surface and within the zeolite channels. It was observed that irrespective of the different feed compositions the concentration of the xylene isomers was intact in the product. There is no other byproducts formation like para-ethylmethyl benzene. The effects of varying the concentration of aromatic compounds in the feed on ethylbenzene conversion and product distribution over the parent and modified H-ZSM-5 catalyst have been discussed. Ethylbenzene disproportionation reaction follows the pseudo first order reaction with an activation energy of 8.6 kcal/mol.展开更多

The results show that the route of annealing in horizontal vacuum sintering furnace cannot reach the purpose of complete recombination after the hot pressing and hot deformation process due to the lack of dehydrogenation channel. The route of applying low pressure of 4–25 MPa on the as-disproportionated green compact during the desorption recombination process in situ hot deformation in a spark plasma sintering(SPS)system can obtain completely recombined Nd Fe B magnet with good anisotropy and magnetic properties. The maximum magnetic properties,(BH)max= 201 kJ m^-3,Br= 1.142 T and Hcj= 469 k A m^-1, are obtained after being treated for 15 min at 750 ℃ under low pressure.展开更多

Optimised recom- bination time (the highest coercivity) was found to be 10 rain. for 5 g samples processed at 740 ℃. Several HDDR processes were carried out at 30 kPa of hydrogen pressure at various temperatures. No correlation between magnetic propertiec and a direction of measurement was observed for the samples processed at 740 ℃. Remanence anisotropy was induced along an alignment direction when the temperature of the HDDR process was increased up to 800 ℃ and 850℃ for 〈100 gm and 100-160 p.m particles, respec- tively. Simultaneously, a small drop in coercivity was observed in the direction of alignment for 〈100 pm particles, but no for 100-160 grn particles. Furthermore, probably an ordered phase was found by TEM microstructure analysis in the bulk sample dis- proportionated at 850 ℃ under 150 kPa of hydrogen. Grains with antiphase domains were observed and corresponding electron dif- fraction patterns were resolved, likely indicating superlattice structures.展开更多

The aspects of thermodynamics and kinetics for the mechanically activated disproportionation of the NdFeB alloy were discussed. Both the evolution of the disproportionation reaction and the corresponding microstructure change of the alloy during milling were characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The results show that the matrix phase Nd 2Fe 14 B of the as cast Nd 12 Fe 82 B 6 alloy can be disproportionated into a mixture of Nd hydride (H 5Nd 2), FeB/Fe 2B, and α Fe, by ball milling under hydrogen pressure of 0.2 MPa. The as disproportionated phases are of the size about 20 nm, suggesting that ball milling in hydrogen is an effective route for low temperature disproportionation processing of the NdFeB alloy to ensure a full nano structured as disproportionated microstructure. This is the basis for synthesizing Nd 2Fe 14 B/ α Fe nano composites with magnetic exchange coupling effect by subsequent desorption recombination processing.展开更多
