In article questions of physical and chemical transformations of starting materials at their heating in metallurgical furnaces are considered. It first of all moisture evaporation, dissociation of the difficult connections, oxidizing and recovery processes, formation of fusible eutectics. An attention to interaction of oxides and sulfides with formation of the new connections having smaller melting point than initial components. It is shown that these connections are the beginning of formation of melts and actually define thermodynamics and kinetics of all process. Transition of firm components of fusion mixture to flux has a great influence on technological indicators of smelting of metal. Considering it, the research on establishment was conducted began courses of these of reaction and a possibility of determination of this criterion without direct the made experiments
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
