Thermodynamics Analysis On Reductive-Matte Smelting Of Sulfide Ore Of Lead, Antimony And Bismuth Which Using Ferric Oxide As Sulfur Fixed Agent

The thermodynamics analysis on reducing-matting smelting of sulfide ore of lead, antimony and bismuth which use ferric oxide as sulfur fixed agent is first analyzed. Due to the analysis of reaction mechanism, ferric oxide is first reduced to ferrous oxide, then ferrous oxide produce reducing-matting reaction with sulfide ore and reducing agent as reaction equation: MeS+FeO+CO=Me+FeS+CO2. The reaction thermodynamic calculation shows that the reducing-matting reactions of lead sulfide, antimony sulfide, Jamesonite, and bismuth sulfide are feasible, but is infeasible for zinc sulfide. These conclusion provide a feasible method for solve the pollution which produced in the smelting of sulfide ore of lead, antimony and bismuth.
