High reactivity coke is beneficial for achieving low carbon emission blast furnace ironmaking. Therefore, the preparation of highly reactive ferro-coke has aroused widespread attention. However, the effects of the particle size of iron ore on the pyrolysis behaviour of a coal-iron ore briquette are still unclear. In this study, the effect of three particle sizes (0.50–1.00 mm, 0.25–0.50 mm and <0.74 mm) of iron ore on the thermal and kinetic behaviours of coal-iron ore briquettes were investigated by non-isothermal kinetic analysis. The results showed that the synergistic effect of iron ore and coal during coking mainly occurred during the later reaction stage (850–1100 °C) and smaller particle sizes of iron ore have a stronger synergistic effect. The addition of iron ore had little effect on T0 (the initial temperature) and Tp (the temperature at the maximum conversion rate) of briquette pyrolysis, however itgreatly affected the conversion rate and Tf (the final temperature) of the briquettes. T0 decreased with the decrease of iron ore particle sizes, while Tp and Tf showed opposite trends. After adding iron ore into the coal briquette, the reaction kinetics at all stages of the coal-iron ore briquettes changed. The weighted apparent activation energy of the caking coal (JM) briquette was 35.532 kJ/mol, which is lower than that of the coal-iron ore briquettes (38.703–55.627 kJ/mol). In addition, the weighted apparent activation energy gradually increased with decreasing iron ore particle sizes.

The volume shrinkage evolution of a magnetite iron ore/carbon composite pellet during solid-state isothermal reduction was investigated. For the shrinkage, the apparent activation energy and mechanism were obtained based on the experimental results. It was found that the volume shrinkage highly depended on the reduction temperature and on dwell time. The volume shrinkage of the pellet increased with the increasing reduction temperature, and the rate of increment was fast during the first 20 min of reduction. The shrinkage of the composite pellet was mainly due to the weight loss of carbon and oxygen, the sintering growth of gangue oxides and metallic iron particles, and the partial melting of the gangue phase at high temperature. The shrinkage apparent activation energy was different depending on the time range. During the first 20 min, the shrinkage apparent activation energy was 51,313 J/mol. After the first 20 min, the apparent activation energy for the volume shrinkage was only 19,697 J/mol. The change of the reduction rate-controlling step and the automatic sintering and reconstruction of the metallic iron particles and gangue oxides in the later reduction stage were the main reasons for the aforementioned time-dependent phenomena. The present work could provide a unique scientific index for the illustration of iron ore/carbon composite pellet behavior during solid-state carbothermic reduction.

The sintering activation energy of high-purity alumina powders with different particle sizes was evaluated under non-isothermal condition. It was found that, during sintering, the activation energy for the lower temperature stage is higher than that for higher temperature stage. The value of the activation energies for the powder compact with larger particle size was higher than that for the powder compact with smaller particle size. If the selected temperature interval for calculation was narrow enough, the evaluated activation energy values varied with the increasing temperature continuously.

<div> <p>In this paper, the effects of the mixing ratio and particle size of coal were investigated using a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). A method of Achar-Brindley-Sharp-Wendworth (ABSW) was applied to a simultaneous calculation of the kinetic parameters (including the apparent activation energy, the reaction order and the frequency factor). Meanwhile, this study also revealed that both the burning performance and the characteristic parameters improved when sludge mixing ratio was smaller (10 wt.%). The ignition temperature advanced with an increase of the sludge proportion, while the combustion characteristic index dropped. As the sludge mixture ratio rose to 70 wt.%, the DTG curve reached three peaks at 293 &deg;C, 580 &deg;C and 748 &deg;C Decreasing the coal particle size led to the advancement of the devolatilization, fixed carbon burning stage and maximum weight loss rate, and the reduction of the corresponding temperature. Additionally, the apparent activation energy and frequency factor of the mixture reduced when the proportion of the sludge mixing ratio went up. Also, the experiment results indicated that with the decline of the particle size distribution of coal, the apparent activation energy followed a downward trend, while the frequency factor increased.</p> </div> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Numerous oxidation problems of nanoparticles are often involved during the preparation and application of nanomaterials. The oxidation rate of nanomaterials is much faster than bulk materials due to nanoeffect. Nanosized zinc sulfide (nano-ZnS) and oxygen were chosen as a reaction system. The influence regularities were discussed and the influence essence was elucidated theoretically. The results indicate that the particle size can remarkably influence the oxidation reaction kinetics. The rate constant and the reaction order increase, while the apparent activation energy and the preexponential factor decrease with the decreasing particle size. Furthermore, the logarithm of rate constant, the apparent activation energy and the logarithm of preexponential factor are linearly related to the reciprocal of particle diameter, respectively. The essence is that the rate constant is influenced by the combined effect of molar surface energy and molar surface entropy, the reaction order by the molar surface area, the apparent activation energy, by the molar surface energy, and the preexponential factor by the molar surface entropy. The influence regularities and essence can provide theoretical guidance to solve the oxidation problems involved in the process of preparation and application of nanomaterials.

In order to evaluate the effect of particle size on FeS Spontaneous Combustion Characters, four different grain diameters of FeS particles (100, 170, 220, 320-mesh) were detected in the experiment. The reaction process at heating rates of 5°C /min in air flow from 30°C to 900°C were studied by TG-DSC and oxidation kinetic analysis. The activation energies of samples were calculated by the Coats-Redfern method. It is found that four reaction mechanisms are involved in FeS spontaneous combustion for different particle sizes; the activation energy values change from 307.4 to 398.05 kJ/mol; larger size particles have higher activation energy values; so grain diameters larger than 100-mesh size samples are less inclined to be oxidized and self-ignited.

The kinetic parameters for the chemical reaction of nano-NiO of different particle sizes with aqueous sodium bisulfate solution were determined; additionally, the influence of particle size on the kinetic parameters were studied and were discussed. The results show that: there are clear effects of the particle size of nano-NiO on the rate constant, the reaction order, the apparent activation energy and the pre-exponential factor; thus the rate constant and the reaction order increase, and the apparent activation energy and the pre-exponential factor decrease, with decrease of the particle diameter; the logarithm of the preexponential factor, and the apparent activation energy, exhibit a linear relationship with the reciprocal of the particle diameter respectively. The bases of the role of the particle size are that the reaction order is influenced by the molar surface area of nano-NiO, the apparent activation energy by the molar surface energy, the preexponential factor by the molar surface entropy, and the rate constant by both the molar surface energy and the molar surface entropy.

This paper presents the results of experimental studies of thermokinetic characteristics of pyrolysis and oxidation of pine needles, taking into account the influence of particle size and density of forest fuel in pelleted samples. The sample densities range within 206-955 kgm-3 (i.e. from typical sample densities to average ones for pressed pelleted samples), and the component particle sizes amount to 60-140 ?m. The range of studied temperatures is 20-1000 o?. The particle size and density of the material are found to be important parameters that significantly affect the kinetics of pyrolysis. According to the results of measurements, the activation energy of needles pyrolysis is within the range of 22.8-113.8 kJmol-1, and that of oxidation corresponds to 134.7-211 kJmol-1. Three intervals with significantly different values of activation energy and pre-exponential factor are distinguished in the studied temperature range. Approximation expressions are formulated for the activation energies of pyrolysis and oxidation as functions of forest fuel particle sizes, sample density and temperature.

Carbon and temperature effects on carbide formation in the carburized zone of M50NiL are of great importance because they can be used to control surface properties of bearings. A series of homogeneous alloys (with M50NiL as base composition) containing various levels of carbon in the range of 0.15% to 1.5% (in wt.%) and heat treated at temperatures between 650°C to 1100°C were selected for characterizations. Eleven samples were chosen for carbide characterization and chemical analysis and their identifications are listed in Table 1.Five different carbides consisting of M6C, M2C, M7C3 and M23C6 were found in all eleven samples examined as shown in Table 1. M6C carbides (with least carbon) were found to be the major carbide in low carbon alloys (<0.3% C) and their amounts decreased as the carbon content increased. In sample C (0.3% C), most particles (95%) encountered were M6C carbide with a particle sizes range between 0.05 to 0.25 um. The M6C carbide are enriched in both Mo and Fe and have a fee structure with lattice parameter a=1.105 nm (Figure 1).
