Acid leaching of alloys within the quaternary system Fe-Si-Ca-Al
| Resumo: | Silicon with high purity and fine particle size can be produced by acid leaching of Fe-Si industrial alloys under the condition that they have adequate chemical composition and structural constitution. Such alloys contain phases that fall within the system Fe-Si-Ca-Al, where the quaternary phase Caalsifer, with aproximate formula (Fe0.8Al0.1 0.1) (Si0.8Ca0.2)2, is found along with several binary and ternary phases (Fe-Si, Ca-Si, Al-Fe-Si, Ca-Al-Si). With the purpose of optimizing the phase, constitution alloys were synthesized within the system Fe-Si-Ca-Al. The results of leaching experiments performed using HCl (150 and 220g/L) at constant temperature (T=102 1 C) and ordinary atmosphere indicate that the Caalsifer plus Al-Fe-Si phases should be maximized whereas the FeSi2 phases should be minimized, by controlling Al/Ca and Fe/Si concentration ratios in the synthesis process. |
