The kiln that Electric mentions is another way or you can put metal ITC on new elements and reduce your electric with a bunsen burner. Check this concept for hybrids in the clayart archives. The ITC protects the elements and the bunsen burner reduces the atmosphere. The eletrcic coils produce the heat. Marcia.

The ilmenite reduction reaction was performed with varying furnace temperatures of 850 to 1100 °C. The amount of hydrogen used in each reaction was selected to be 0.3 mmol which is equivalent to the amount of ilmenite in each sample. The amount of hydrogen at the start of the reaction should therefore be 420 mbar, however, …
Synthetic rutile has been produced from a Western Australian ilmenite by reducing it under controlled oxygen and sulfur fugacities, then leaching out the resulting metallic and sulfide phases with a bromine-in-methanol solution. The grade of the synthetic rutile has been determined as a function of reduction temperature, reduction time and oxygen …
Although ilmenite and rutile are extensively used to extract TiO2 at the industrial level, through the sulphate and chloride processes, they can also be recognized to possess the potential to be employed as the raw material to synthesize other titanium compounds as well.

The process of ilmenite reduction can be described by a shrinking core model as shown in Fig. 9 by Dang et al. (2015). The reaction of ilmenite proceeds from the surface to the interior of the grain as hydrogen diffuses inwards, reduces the ilmenite, and water diffuses out of the grain. Metallic iron forms on the outer edges of the grains where ...
The difference in the reduction behaviour of raw ilmenite and ilmenite-coke composite pellets has been established and compared with that of the pre-oxidized raw pellets. ... ROY G G.

If you're looking for an industrial kiln capable of firing products in large volumes, there are two types of kiln that you can choose from: a tunnel kiln or shuttle kiln. In this article we examine how each type works, and the comparative advantages of each. Shuttle kilns are versatile and are used in many industries, as they offer a good degree …
