Abstract

Recently, the usage of hydrogen in the processes of metal extraction has been a very important challenge to metallurgic industry. Replacing conventional reductor, taking into consideration CO₂ emission restrictions will enable maintaining and developing this branch of industry. The results of the research on tin oxide SnO reduction using hydrogen given as a mixture Ar – 5 % vol.H₂ in temperature range 773 – 873 K. are shown in this article. The tests were conducted using thermogravimetric method. It is demonstrated that with the rise of a temperature in the analyzed range the speed of reaction rises as well and the obtained degree of reduction varies from 40 to 99,5 %. Stabilization the weight change in the tested sample thermogravimetric (TG) was reached after from 25 min for 773 K to 15 min for temperature 873 K.
