Abstract:
      New technology of pre-reduction in rotary kiln and full-oxygen bath smelting are proposed to realize high efficient smelting of polymetallic nodules. Effect of temperature on prereduction of polymetallic nodules during pre-reduction stage of rotary kiln was studied. The results show that MnO2 can be gradually reduced to Mn2O3 and MnO and even to Mn; Fe2O3 is reduced to Fe3O4 and FeO and even to Fe; CuO, CoO and NiO are directly reduced to Cu, Co, Ni. High reduction temperature enhances polymetallic nodules reduction reaction. The most remarkable reduction effect is obtained at 1 300 ℃, that phenomenon of metal melting and re-agglomeration occurs and spherical metal appears in sample. At the same temperature, when reduction time rises from 1 h to 2 h, the reduction effect is obviously enhanced.
