Abstract
The selective chlorination of iron from titaniferous magnetite ore using solid carbon as a reducing agent was studied in a fluidized bed. The effects of chlorination temperature, chlorine gas partial pressure, ratio of ore to carbon particle sizes, and the amount of added carbon were determined. Experimental results indicate that temperatures between 900 and 1000 K were favorable for the selective chlorination of iron. The rate was found to be first order with respect to chlorine concentration, and the observed effects of particle size, temperature, and the amount of carbon added were expressed quantitatively by using a mixed-control model.
