Batteries are complex multicomponent devices wherein mesoscale phenomena–the nanoscale structure and chemistry of different components, and interactions thereof–drive functionality and performance. For example, electron/ion transport within the composite electrodes relies on bi-continuous nanostructuring to form electrically and ionicly conductive paths. Electrochemical conversion of different salts of a given metal yields a common and ostensibly identical product: the zero valent metal. For example, maximal lithiation of iron-based electrodes produces metallic iron nanoparticles for oxide, fluoride, and oxyfluoride electrodes alike. Accordingly, these provide an opportunity to explore the coupling of nanostructure development and anion chemistry, and correlate these with electrochemical performance. We combine synchrotron-based small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and pair distribution function (PDF) measurements to probe metallic iron formed by electrochemical conversion of different iron compounds across multiple length-scales and decouple the influence of anion chemistry and reaction temperature on the atomic structure and nanoscale morphology.

AbstractA series of ternary transition metal gallides around the equiatomic composition have been synthesized from the elements by arc-melting and subsequent annealing. The compounds crystallize with site occupancy variants of the hexagonal Laves phase MgZn2, with the hexagonal ZrBeSi or the orthorhombic TiNiSi type. All samples have been characterized on the basis of their lattice parameters, determined by X-ray powder diffraction (Guinier technique). The structures of NbCr1.58Ga0.42 and NbFe1.51Ga0.49 (MgZn2 type, P63/mmc), NbRhGa (ZrBeSi type, P63/mmc), and ScNiGa, ScPtGa and ScAuGa (TiNiSi type, Pnma) were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. The ScPtGa and ScAuGa crystals showed trilling formation. Mixed site occupancies were only observed in the Laves phases while all other crystals were well ordered. A striking structural motif of NbRhGa is the formation of niobium chains (264 pm Nb–Nb) along the c axis. Several gallides were magnetically characterized. They are Pauli paramagnets. The two crystallographically independent iron sites in the Laves phase TaFeGa could be distinguished in the 57Fe Mössbauer spectrum. The isomer shifts of 0.06(3) (Fe1) and –0.02(3) (Fe2) mm s−1 indicate metallic iron.

This paper presents the results of reduction of nitric oxide, NO, by metallic iron in a one-dimensional electrically heated ceramic tubular reactor in the temperature range of 300 °C to 1200 °C with simulated flue gas of 0.05% NO in N2 base. Several sizes of iron mesh rolls were used as iron samples and were placed in the centre of the reactor. The effect of CO on NO reduction was examined by introducing 0.1% CO into the flue gas. Effluent NO was measured as a function of temperature by online gas analyzer. The chemical changes of the iron samples after the reaction were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. Results showed that iron mesh roll was very effective to reduce NO to N2. When the temperature was higher than 900°C, the NO reduction efficiency was observed to exceed 90% for all the mesh rolls used. Fe2O3 was formed at the surface of the iron mesh. The presence of CO increased the NO reduction efficiency by reducing the iron oxide, mainly Fe2O3, to metallic iron.

An investigation on the reduction of iron ore with carbonaceous material as a reductant was carried out at 1550°C. Iron ore was mixed with biochar from palm shell and coke as a reference at C/O molar ratio of 1.0. Characterisation of raw materials was performed using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Fourier Transmittance Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM-EDX). The samples after reduction were characterised to study the phase transformation and structural properties. The XRD results revealed the iron ore contained hematite as its main composition. After reduction at high temperature, the hematite has been successfully reduced to metallic iron using biochar as a reductant. It was found that the reaction proceeded in a stepwise reduction of iron oxide. The SEM micrographs proved the formation of metallic iron in the sample after reduction at 1550°C. Through characterisation, the biochar from palm shell has physical properties suitable to be an alternative carbon reductant to replace coke.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of carburization of metallic Fe by (20%,v/v) carbon monoxide (CO). Carburization of Fe by carbon monoxide was examined by using temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), X-Ray powder diffractometry (XRD) and Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Sulfur (CHNS) technique. Based on a thermodynamic calculation, the free energy Gibb’s value to produce carbon is-8.08 kcal/mol which are favorable. However, production of iron carbide from the same reaction, the free energy Gibb’s value is +9.24 kcal/mol which is not feasible. From the XRD results, shows that after carburization of Fe, the peak appears only for Fe but there is a broad peak between 20 – 30°. The peak might be indicated as carbon in amorphous form. This finding is supported by the percent of carbon content in CHNS analysis which are increasing when the temperature is increased. This shows that after carburization the carbon content is increasing with increasing in temperature due to carbon deposited on metallic iron. In this research, three different temperatures were used which are 300°C, 500°C and 700°C.

The reduction behaviour of 3% cerium doped (Ce-Fe2O3) and undoped iron oxide (Fe2O3) by hydrogen in nitrogen (10%,v/v) and carbon monoxide in nitrogen (10%,v/v) atmospheres have been investigate by temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The phases formed of partially and completely reduced samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). TPR results indicate that the reduction of Ce doped and undoped iron oxide in both reductants proceed in three steps reduction (Fe2O3 → Fe3O4 → FeO → Fe) with Fe3O4 and FeO were the intermediate. TPR results also suggested that by adding Ce metal into iron oxide the reduction to metallic Fe by using both reductant gaseous give better reducibility compare to the undoped Fe2O3. The reduction process of Ce and undoped Fe2O3 become faster when CO was used as a reductant instead of H2. Furthermore, in CO atmosphere, Ce-Fe2O3 give complete reduction to metallic iron at 700 0C which about 200 0C temperature lower than other samples. Meanwhile, XRD analysis indicated that Ce doped iron oxide composed better crystallite phases of Fe2O3 with higher intensity and a small amount of FeCe2O4.

Industry test on phosphorus removal and direct reduction of the “Ningxiang type” high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore has been carried out in a tunnel kiln on the basis of laboratory experiment. The iron grade and phosphorus content of the initial sample are 42.46% and 0.867%, respectively. The results showed that high-phosphorus oolitic hematite could be exploited on industrial scale, with the new process direct reduction roasting – grinding – magnetic separation, and that the final concentrate with an iron grade 92.56%, iron recovery 82.77% and phosphorus content 0.089% was obtained under the optimal conditions. Besides, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope with X-ray energy dispersive spectrum (SEM-EDS) were used to analysis the mechanism of phosphorus removal and direct reduction. It was shown that oolitic structure was destroyed, and metallic iron particle coarsening was obvious, besides fluorapatite particles were dispersed in the gangue by diffusion during the reduction roasting process. The liberation of metallic iron and gangue can be achieved by grinding, so high iron grade and low phosphorus content concentrate can be obtained after magnetic separation.
