Abstract
Two commercial methods are used for the production of strontium carbonate:1) Direct conversion of Celsetite to strontium carbonate by hot sodium carbonate,2) Carbothermic reduction of celestite with coal followed by water leaching of strontium sulfide(SrS) and its conversion to strontium carbonate.The present study has been made on the carbothermic reduction of celestite ores of Varamin (Iran) mines. Effects of temperature, time, pellet size, particle size of celestite ore, pellet compactness and type of reducing agent have been studied. In the range of 800-1100°C, reduction rate increases notably with temperature, which may mean that the reduction is predominantly chemical controlled. Activation energy of around 22.5 kcal/mol supports the idea of chemical control mechanism. Further support for this postulation is provided by the following facts:1) Increasing rate with carbon reactivity (graphite, coal, and charcoal)2) Small dependency of rate on pellet compactness.3) Small dependency of rate on pellet size

Abstract
Abstract: In this paper, kinetics of reductive leaching of manganese dioxide ore by ferrous ion in
sulfuric acid media has been examined. Experimental results show that increasing temperature
from 20 to 60 °C and decreasing ore particle size from −16+20 to −60+100 mesh considerably
enhance both the dissolution rate and efficiency. Molar ratios of Fe2+/MnO2 and H2SO4/MnO2 in
excess to the stoichiometric amounts were needed for successful manganese dissolution. Under the
optimum condition (ore particle size of −60+100 mesh, Fe2+/MnO2 molar ratio of 3.0,
H2SO4/MnO2 molar ratio of 2.0) manganese could be extracted with over 95% efficiency by 20
minutes leaching at room temperature. A kinetic analysis based on dimensionless time method
showed that shrinking core – ash diffusion control model fits the experimental results reasonably
well. Value of activation energy was found to be 28.1 kJ/mole for the proposed mechanism.

Abstract:
the changes of BET surface area of a mineral substance during intensive grinding process. Validity of the proposed
model was tested by the experiments performed using a natural chalcopyrite mineral as well as the published data. It
was shown that the model can predict the experimental results with a very good accuracy and can be used to predict
what may happen under the similar experimental conditions.
Based on experimental observations, a model has been developed to describe the effect of grinding time on

has been investigated. It has been shown that the mechanism of leaching reaction is diffusion through the product layer
and does not undergo any change as a result of mechanical activation in a wide range of experimental conditions.
Leaching rate is strongly influenced by milling intensity and the effect of ball to powder mass ratio is stronger than
milling time. Curve fitting of experimental data shows that leaching rate constant is approximately a linear function
of ball to powder mass ratio, while it obeys a power function with regard to the milling time.

temperature, time, ore grain size and the type and grain size of the carbon materials. Graphite, coke and charcoal have
been used as the reducing agent and the reduction experiments have been performed in the temperature range of 925-
1150 °C. Apart from conducting the experiments using pellets made of ore powder, kinetic analysis of the experimental
data by use of the reduced (dimensionless) time method has been another unique feature of the present study.
Experimental results show that grain size of either carbon material or barite ore has not appreciable effect on the
reaction rate. Kinetic analysis of the experimental data revealed the rate is strongly controlled by the chemical reaction
of carbon gasification (Boudouard reaction). The reaction rate is very considerably related to the type of carbon
material so that the activation energy varies from 15.6 kcal.mol

The present study deals with the reduction of barium sulfate (Barite) to barium sulfide by use of carbon as4 has been reduced under different conditions of-1 for charcoal to 26.3 kcal.mol-1 for graphite and 20.8-1 for coke. This behavior provides further support for the postulated reaction mechanism, i.e., carbon

Abstract
In the present study, reduction of zinc oxide from the pellets made of steelmaking electric arc furnace dust has been investigated. Effects of such parameters as the type of carbon material (graphite, coke and charcoal) as well as time and temperature on the reduction reaction have been examined. The reduced (dimensionless) time method was applied to perform a kinetic analysis of the system. Experimental results showed that increasing the temperature in the range of 925-1150°C results in a remarkable increase in the reduction rate. It was also shown that the reduction process is controlled by chemical reaction. Meaningful difference in the activation energy values calculated for reduction with graphite (24.75 kcal/mol), coke (18.13 kcal/mol) and charcoal (11.52 kcal/mol) indicate the predominant role of chemical reaction (carbon gasification) in the overall reaction rate and its rate-controlling mechanism. Carbothermal reduction of pelletized EAF dust proved to be an efficient reduction method, so that above 90% reduction was achieved in about one hour at temperatures around 1100°C.

Abstract
Vanadium recovery of Thermal Power Plant Ash (TPPA) is an attractive process which simultaneously satisfies the pollution control standards regarding TPPA disposal and provides a valuable source of vanadium for industrial demands. In the present research work, sulfuric acid leaching route has been employed for vanadium recovery from an Iranian TPPA. Effects of acid concentration, temperature, acid/TPPA ratio, leaching time as well as TPPA particle size on the leaching efficiency of vanadium have been investigated. Experimental results showed that leaching efficiency of vanadium is significantly affected by the leaching conditions. The results revealed that with acid concentration of about 15%, temperature around 75 °C, acid/TPPA ratio~15, leaching time about 120 minutes and particle size of 75 - 150 pm, almost 92% of vanadium can be dissolved

Abstract
B4C–Al2O3 composite powder was produced by aluminothermic reduction in Al/B2O3/C system. In this research, microwave heating technique was used to synthesize desired composite. The ball milling of powder mixtures was performed in order to study the effect of mechanical activation on the synthesis process. The synthesis mechanism in this system was investigated by examining the corresponding binary sub-reactions. The self-sustaining reduction of boron oxide by Al was recognized to be the triggering step in overall reaction.
