Write the reaction which occurs in the zone of combustion of blast furnace during the extraction of iron ANS: CO2 (g)+ C(s) ื 2CO(g)‐163kJ This reaction is endothermic. Therefore the temperature decreases gradually from bottom(15000C) towards the top(4000C) 3. Write the equation for the chemical reaction taking place at 600oC in the extraction of iron by blast furnace. • Coke produces “CO” which acts as reducing agent Fe2O3 +3CO ื 2Fe +3CO2 4. Define partition coefficient Ans: “At a constant temperature, a solute distribute itself between two immiscible solvents in such a way that the ratio of its concentration in two solvents is a constant”(distribution ratio or partition co‐efficient) For example; Silver is 300 times more soluble in molten zinc than in molten lead at 800oC Conc. of silver in molten Zinc 300 partition co - efficient = = = 300 Conc.of silver in molten lead 1 2 MARKS QUESTIONS 1.Metal oxides are unstable at high temperature.

With the help of Ellingham diagram suggest a method for the reduction of HgO • Ans: Change in std.free energy change v/s Temperature curves for the oxidation of Ag & Hg crosses zero line & their change in std. free energy become +ve even at lower temperature • So these oxides become unstable & readily decompose on heating • 2.What is the function of lime stone and coke in the smelting of haematite? • Ans: Lime stone(CaCO3 )decomposes to CaO which acts as “flux • CaCO3 ื CaO + CO2 CaO + SiO2 ื CaSiO3 (flux) (gangue) (slag) • Coke produces “CO” which acts as reducing agent Fe2O3 +3CO ื 2Fe +3CO2 3.With the help of Ellingham diagrams explain why aluminium is used as reducing agent in the manufacture of chromium from chromic oxide. • • Ans: Std. Change in free energy value for the formation of Al2O3 is always less than that of Cr2O3. • Al2O3 is more stable • Hence “Al” is used to reduce Cr2O3(Chromic oxide) • This process is called “Goldschmidt alumino thermic” process Cr2O3+2Alื Al2O3 +2Cr 4. Give the composition of the following a) Limonite b) Magnetite • Ans: Magnetite‐ Fe3O4 • Limonite ‐2Fe2O3.3H2O 5.

Therefore “CO” is better reducing agent for Fe2O3 below 7100C. Fe2O3 +3CO ื 2Fe +3CO2 0 • Above 710 C, the std .change in free energy value for the formation of Fe2O3 is more than that of CO formation from Carbon(Coke) 0 • Hence above 710 C, coke (carbon ) is better reducing agent for Fe2O3.

Received: 11 December 2013; in revised form: 24 January 2014 / Accepted: 5 February 2014 / Published: 19 February 2014 Abstract: The useful life of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) has been shortened as a consequence of the advancement in technology and change in consumer patterns. This has resulted in the generation of large quantities of electronic waste (e-waste) that needs to be managed. The handling of e-waste including combustion in incinerators, disposing in landfill or exporting overseas is no longer permitted due to environmental pollution and global legislations. Additionally, the presence of precious metals (PMs) makes e-waste recycling attractive economically. In this paper, current metallurgical processes for the extraction of metals from e-waste, including existing industrial routes, are reviewed. In the first part of this paper, the definition, composition and classifications of e-wastes are described. In the second part, separation of metals from e-waste using mechanical processing, hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical routes are critically analyzed.

While seeking the development of a soldering technology using pure indium, the major focus of this study is to assess the thermodynamics and kinetics of indium oxidation at various solder reflow environments that will ultimately provide a processing window for solder reflow and surface oxide cleaning. The stability of oxidation and reduction reactions for indium is presented in terms of several thermodynamic models.

  • Thermodynamic Studies of Liquid Au-Zn and Ag-Zn Systems
    Thermodynamic Studies of Liquid Au-Zn and Ag-Zn Systems By Akira Yazawa* and Alzbeta Gubcova** In order to clarify the basic principle of the Parkes process, in which precious metals are extracted from the crude lead by the addition of zinc, thermodynamic studies have been carried out for the liquid Au-Zn and Ag-Zn systems for which thermo- dynamic data have not been satisfactorily available. The electromotive force was measured using the following type of the cell: The error arising from volatilization of zinc was carefully avoided. The break points on the electromotive force curves against temperature suggest that the liquidus lines for the Au-Zn system recommended by Hansen are not acceptable, and that higher liquidus temperature may be reasonable. The activity curves obtained from the electromotive force values show considerably negative deviations from Raoult's law, especially in the Au-Zn system, suggesting the large affinity of zinc for gold and silver. In connection with the present data obtained, the properties of alloys between groups IB and II have been discussed in terms of the electronegativity, ionic radius and electron configurations. It is proved phenomenologically that the obtained data may be also interesting from the standpoint of recent stability theories of alloy phases. To understand the principle of the Parkes process, the results in the present study are combined with the data of the Au-Pb and Ag-Pb systems, and the free energy of mixing for the ternary Au-Pb-Zn and Ag-Pb-Zn systems has been calculated. Moreover, the removal limit of the precious metals from lead has been explained under the simplified assumptions.

    Oxidation of Metals, Vol. 13, No. 2, 1979 The Thermochemistry of Transition Metal Carbides Stephen R. Shatynski* Received March 29, 1978 Revised May 18, 1978 A general survey is made of the available data for the standard Gibbs energies of formation of solid carbides of transition metals'. The results are plotted as standard Gibbs energy vs. temperature diagrams. The equations and the estimated accuracy when available are given for each substance. KEY WORDS: standard Gibbs energy of formation; transition metal carbides; Ellingham diagrams. INTRODUCTION A review of the equilibrium and thermodynamic data of the transition metal carbides is presented with particular emphasis on the Gibbs energy of formation. This work reviews, updates, and extends the earlier surveys performed by Richardson 1 and Kubaschewski et al., 2 and the more recent ones by Reed 3 and Wicks and Block. 4 Much of Reed's compilation of carbide thermochemical data was gathered from Richardson. 1 Data for the Gibbs energies of formation for carbides as a function of temperature are presented as Ellingham plots as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In this paper, the Gibbs energies are normalized with respect to 1 mole of C. The general reaction considered is: xM+C-~MxC For these reactions the standard states are as followst: (1) for solid or liquid metal, a coexistence with its lowest carbide, (2) for C, a solid of unit activity, and (3) for carbides, the solid and liquid carbide in coexistence *Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Materials Engineering Department, Troy, New York 12181. tMany of the existing data are based on coexistence standard states, not pure standard states.
