Effect of the size of particles of zinc ore and carbon upon the rate of reduction of zinc ore by carbon

Author

Keith Oxley Alexander

Abstract

"In the retort smelting of zinc ores one of the chief metallurgical problems is to obtain as complete a reduction of the zinc as is consistent with economical operation. Among the factors influencing the completeness of reduction are the temperature and time of distillation, the form in which the zinc exists in the ore, the form of carbon used as reducer, and the size of the particles or ore and reducer"--Introduction, page 1.
