Abstract

The reduction of PbO-SiO₂ melts by H₂-N₂ mixtures was investigated at 1173 K using a thermo-gravimetric arrangement. Some of the experiments were specially designed to assess the relative magnitudes of reaction rates at slag/gas, slag/refractory, and slag/metal interfaces. Analysis of the rate data revealed that the reaction rates at slag/gas and slag/refractory interfaces were comparable to each other. Reduction did not occur appreciably at the slag/metal interface. The concentration profiles of lead oxide in the partially reduced quenched slag samples were determined by electron microprobe. Significant concentration gradients of PbO existed at the slag/gas and slag/refractory interfaces. The diffusivity values of lead oxide in the slags were evaluated using the concentration profiles and the rate data. Additions of varied amounts of P₂O₅ to the slag were found to have a retarding effect on the reduction rate, which may be explained by a surface blockage mechanism.
