Modeling of Noncatalytic Hydrogen Reduction of Molybdenum Disulfide in the Presence of Lime, by Complex Multistep Gas-Solid Reactions

Direct reduction of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) by hydrogen in the presence of lime is an alternative method for producing molybdenum metal. Such a process can be envisaged to have many advantages, including decreased number of operating stages and elimination of SO 2 emissions. A mathematical mod...

Description
Summary:Direct reduction of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) by hydrogen in the presence of lime is an alternative method for producing molybdenum metal. Such a process can be envisaged to have many advantages, including decreased number of operating stages and elimination of SO 2 emissions. A mathematical model for predicting behavior of reduction of MoS 2 with hydrogen in the presence of lime is presented in this work. And finally, the results predicted by the model have been evaluated and validated using experimental data.
