A furnace freeze lining is necessary for safety and economic reasons in several smelting operations. The integrity of the put at risk by power imbalances. Although numerous models have been derived to model growth depletion due imbalances, no exists thermomechanical damage lining. This study provides an initial pathway modelling ilmenite using information from literature experimental work. meth...

Steel converter slag, also called Linz-Donawitz (LD) has been considered as an oxygen carrier for biofuel chemical looping applications due to its high availability. In addition content of iron which contributes oxygen-carrying capacity, LD slag contains a significant amount calcium. Calcium, however, is known interact with sulfur, may affect the usability slag. To get better understanding inte...

Potassium sulfide KFeS2 (hanswilkeite) has been identified in polymineralic inclusions a diamond from the Udachnaya kimberlite pipe (Siberian craton, Yakutia). This is second occurrence of hanswilkeite nature and first one mantle-derived samples. Sulfide monoclinic, space group—C 2/c. Its crystal structure consists chains with K interstices. The tetrahedra are centered by iron ions linked edges...
