Laterite-lignite mixture

Reduction degree as a function of time and microwave power supply for a laterite-lignite mixture sample of 11.75g (stoichiometric carbon addition). (Reproduced from Ref. 19 with permission of Elsevier.)... 

In Fig. 32.15, the effect of laterite-lignite mass on the reduction degree of laterite at an input power of 800 W and two times the stoichiometric addition of carbon is presented. By increasing the laterite s mass from lOg (I3.5g of mixture) to 365.5 g (493.5 g of mixture), a strong decrease of the reduction degree is observed, from about 70 to 25%. The effect on the reduction degree of sample mass should be correlated with the temperatures achieved for the respective samples under a given microwave radiation. Fig. 32.16.
