Reduction mechanism of titanomagnetite concentrate by carbon monoxide by Sun H.Y., Dong X.J., She X.F., Xue Q.G., Wang J.S.

“…Above 1123 K, the reduction is controlled by interfacial chemical reaction at early stage of the reaction and then turns to the internal diffusion controlling with reaction processing. The reduction path at temperatures above 1123 K is suggested as follow: Fe3-xTixO4 → (x+y-1)FeO + Fe4-2x-yTixO4-y → (x+y-1)Fe + Fe4-2x-yTixO4-y → (3-x)Fe + xTiO2 (0<y<4-2x, x=0.27±0.02)…”

Towards a Smart Encapsulation System for Small-Sized Electronic Devices: A New Approach by Sebastian-Tim Schmitz-Hertzberg, Rick Liese, Carsten Terjung, Frank F. Bier

“…Controlled permeability of the opposite compartments was achieved by inclusion of NaCl inside the polymer matrix during heat pressing, followed by its subsequent release in aqueous solution. Correlating diffusion rates through the so made permeable capsule compartments were quantified for preselected model analytes: glucose, peroxidase, and polystyrene beads of three different diameters (1.4 μm, 4.2 μm, and 20.0 μm). …”

Ostwald Ripening Process of Coherent β′ Precipitates during Aging in Fe0.75Ni0.10Al0.15 and Fe0.74Ni0.10Al0.15Cr0.01 Alloys by N. Cayetano-Castro, M. L. Saucedo-Muñoz, H. J. Dorantes-Rosales, Jorge L. Gonzalez-Velazquez, J. D. Villegas-Cardenas, V. M. Lopez-Hirata

“…The variation of the equivalent radii of precipitates with time follows the modified Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner theory for diffusion-controlled coarsening. Thermo-Calc analysis shows that the chromium content is richer in the matrix than in the precipitates which causes higher hardness and coarsening resistance in the aged Fe0.74Ni0.10Al0.15Cr0.01 alloy.…”
