Abstract:The process of phase formation during metallothermic reduction of tin and associated metals from natural cassiterite containing 74.4% SnO 2 , 16.3% SiO 2 , and 9.3% FeCO 3 is studied by methods of combined thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (or differential scanning calorimetry), as well as Xray diffraction. Aluminum, calcium and calciumaluminum master alloy (69.4 wt.% Ca) are tested as reducing agents. The possibility is demonstrated of extracting tin from cassiterite in the form of a metal an… Show more
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.
