본 연구에서는 칼슘에 의한 타이타늄 스크랩의 탈산에 대하여 조사하였다. 타이타늄 스크랩의 탈산에 미치는 스크랩과 칼슘의 질량비, 반응시간, 반응온도, 입자크기, 그리고 산세조건의 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. 실험은 Ar 분위기의 밀폐된 스테인리스강제 반응기 내에서 30분에서 90분까지 실시하였다. 반응온도 $1000^{\circ}C$, Ti/Ca의 질량비 2.5인 조건에서 30분 동안의 칼슘 열환원반응에 의해 타이타늄 스크랩의 산소농도는 0.54에서 0.19 wt%로 감소하였다. Ti/Ca의 질량비 2.5에서 30분 동안 $1100^{\circ}C$에서 탈산한 타이타늄 스크랩의 산소농도는 최저 0.126 wt%를 나타내었다.

Uranium ingot is produced by metallothermic reduction of uranium tetrafluoride using magnesium or calcium as reductant. Presence of oxygen containing compounds viz. uranyl fluoride and uranium oxide in the starting uranium fluoride has a significant effect on the firing time, final temperature of the charge, slag-metal separation and hence the metal recovery. As reported in the literature, the maximum tolerable limit for uranyl fluoride in the UF₄ is 2.5 wt% and limit for uranium oxide content is in the range 2-3 wt%. No theoretical or experimental basis is available till date for these limits. Analyses have been carried out in this study to understand the effect of UO₂F₂ concentration in the starting fluoride on the final temperature of the products and thus the reduction characteristics. UF₄ having uranyl fluoride concentration, less than as well as more than 2.5 wt%, have been investigated. Thermodynamic calculations have been carried out to arrive at a general expression for the final temperature attained by the products during calciothermic reduction of UF₄. Finally, an upper limit for the oxygen containing impurities has been estimated using the CaO-CaF₂ phase diagram.

This paper compares the effect of using different types of iron powders for the preparation of $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ by calciothermic reduction-diffusion (CRD). Three types of iron powder were used: carbonyl, sponge and water atomized. The results show that, when immediately nitrogenated after the CRD process, $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ prepared from sponge and water atomized iron powders yield $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_3$-magnets with a high degree of texture. However, after a suitable treatment with hydrogen followed by nitrogenation, $Sm_2Fe_{17}$-powders made from Carbonyl iron produce magnets with the best quality regarding coercivity, remanence and degree of texture.

Direct reduction of $Ta_2O_5$ using liquid calcium was investigated. The experiment was conducted in a closed stainless steel chamber in an Ar atmosphere for 5-120 minutes. Most of $Ta_2O_5$ was reduced to ${\alpha}-Ta$ in 30 minutes above 1173 K and at a molar ratio of Ca and $Ta_2O_5$ above 10. The particles size increased with the reaction temperature, but it did not change much above 1223 K. The oxygen content of metal Ta was about 1 wt%.

Production of fine tantalum powder by calciothermic reduction of tantalum oxides ($Ta_{2}O_5$) pellet through an electronically mediated reaction (EMR) has been investigated. $Ta_{2}O_5$ pellet feed and reductant calcium-nickel (Ca-Ni) alloy were charged into electronically isolated locations in a molten $CaCl_2$ bath. The current flow through an external path between the feed (cathode) and reductant (anode) locations was monitored. The current approximately 4.7A was measured during the reaction in the external circuit connecting cathode and anode location. Tantalum powder with approximately 99 $mass\%$ purity was readily obtained after each experiment. Tantalum powder by EMR using $Ta_{2}O_5$ pellet feed was fine compared with that of metal powder by metallothermic reduction and EMR using $Ta_{2}O_5$ powder feed.

Production of titanium powder directly from tantalum oxides ($TiO_2$) pellet through an electronically mediated reaction (EMR) by calciothermic reduction has been investigated. Feed material ($TiO_2\;pellet$) and reductant (Ca-Ni alloy) were charged into electronically isolated locations in a molten calcium chloride ($CaCl_2$) bath at $950^{\circ}C$. The current flow through an external circuit between the feed (cathode) and reductant (anode) locations was monitored during the reduction of $TiO_2$. The current approximately 3.2A was measured during the reaction in the external circuit connecting cathode and anode location. After the reduction experiment, pure titanium powder with low nickel content was obtained even though Ca-Ni alloy was used as a reductant. These results demonstrate that titanium powder can be produced without direct physical contact between the feed and reductant. In certain experimental conditions, pure titanium powder with approximately $99.5\;mass\%$ purity was successfully obtained.

본 연구에서는 액상 칼슘에 의한 $ZrO_2$의 직접환원에 대하여 조사하였다. $ZrO_2$의 직접환원에 미치는 Ca과 $ZrO_2$의 몰비, 반응시간, 그리고 반응온도의 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. 실험은 5분에서 60분까지 Ar 분위기의 밀폐된 스테인리스강제의 반응기에서 실시하였다. 반응온도 1223 K, Ca과 $ZrO_2$의 몰비가 3 이상인 조건에서 대부분의 $ZrO_2$는 5분만에 Zr으로 환원되었다. 반응온도가 1337 K이고 Ca을 이론적인 양의 2배를 첨가한 경우 금속 Zr 중의 산소농도는 최저 0.66 wt%를 나타내었다. 그리고 Zr 입자의 형상은 반응온도와 반응시간에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.
