Abstract
Thermodynamic analysis of steady state conditions of the “concentrate (titaniferous magnetite)—reducing agent (carbon)” system is carried out for different temperatures and concentrate/agent mass ratios. A pilot setup for experimental research of the process of plasma liquid-phase carbothermic reduction of Fe-Ti concentrate is developed. The possibility of plasma-arc metal recovery from titaniferous magnetite concentrates with almost full separation of metallic and oxide phases is demonstrated.
