- Abstract
- The reduction behaviour of magnetite oxide by hydrogen below Curie temperature was investigated in the presence of external magnetic field by thermogravimetric analysis. The reduction rate of magnetite powder increased with increasing external magnetic field strength below Curie temperature of magnetite. In order to figure out the effect of external magnetic field on reduction of magnetite, two types of magnetite, powder and pellet, were studied. It was possible to enhance the reduction rate of magnetite powder, because the particles of magnetite in the presence of an external magnetic field exposed more surface to the reducing gas. The effects of reduction temperature, reducing agent, iron oxide type, particle size and specimen shape on the metallisation behaviour of magnetite were visually clarified below the Curie temperature under the influence of external magnetic field. Despite of the increase in reduction degree by applied magnetic field, the rate controlling step was not changed due to the formation of porous metallic iron layer that keeps the path for reducing agent to approach the unreduced iron oxide in the core of magnetite particle.
