Kinetics and mechanisms of the carbothermic reduction of ...
Carbothermic reduction of chromite in the presence of nickel as the alloying element was investigated in a wide temperature range up to 1500 °C using thermogravimetric analysis coupled with continuous offgas analysis (TGDSCMS). Both isothermal and nonisothermal linear heating tests were performed for the kinetic study with the calculation of activation energies.
