Non-equilibrium carbothermic reduction of magnesium at the treatment of agglomerated particles “magnesium oxide–carbon” in the plasma jet

Resumo

Theoretical estimations are made in order to support the possibility of the non-equilibrium carbothermic reduction of magnesium after the plasma treatment of agglomerated particles-decamicron mechano-composites which consist of uniformly mixed reacting nano- and sub-micron insertions of magnesium oxide and soot with the preset stoichiometric composition. Experimental results are presented to confirm the practical attainability of the process.
