摘要
The high-temperature requirement for liquid iron smelting via molten oxide electrolysis presents significant challenges. This study investigates the electrochemical reduction of Fe(III) in a novel low-temperature electrolyte, Na2SiO3-SiO2-Fe2O3, utilizing cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry techniques. The results show that Fe(III) reduction occurs in two steps: Fe(III)+e(-)-> Fe(II), Fe(II)+2e(-)-> Fe, and that the redox process of Fe(III)/Fe(II) at the tungsten electrode is an irreversible reaction controlled by diffusion. The diffusion coefficients of Fe(III) in the molten Na2SiO3-SiO2-Fe2O3 in the temperature range of 1248-1278 K are between 1.86x10(-6) cm(2)/s and 1.58x10(-4) cm(2)/s. The diffusion activation energy of Fe(III) in the molten salt is 1825.41 kJ/mol. As confirmed by XRD analysis, potentiostatic electrolysis at -0.857 V (vs. O-2/O-(complex)(2-)) for 6 h produces metallic iron on the cathode.
