- Abstract
The report presents the results of thermodynamic estimations of availability of iron reduction from oxygen compounds by means of various reducing agents, including those containing sulfur of various oxidation rate. It has been determined that the most preferable reducing agent of iron from oxides is carbon monoxide. As for sulfur containing reducing agents, elemental sulfur is the most active substance, however, metallization is possible at the temperatures of higher than 1000°C. Several variants were proposed for interaction of iron sulfides, pyrite and pyrrhotine, with alkali to obtain metallic iron, its hydroxides and oxides.
