Formation of Metallic Phase on Reducing-Gas Injection in Multicomponent Oxide Melt. Part 3. Separation of Ferronickel and Oxide Melt

Metal Phase Formation in Bubbling Reduction of Nickel and Iron from Oxide Melt

“…Those processes are great importance for understanding of the ferronickel pyrometallurgical production processes. In the previous works [1,2], a model was proposed for the metal phase formation during bubbling of an oxide melt by a reducing gas, which includes following stages: formation of bubbles during the gas injection into the melt; metal reduction at the gas-melt interface; metal droplets formation; movement of the gas bubble-metal drop system. This movement direction is determined by the ratio…”
