  2. 1. Mineral Reactions and Slag Formation During Reduction of Olivine Blast Furnace Pellets

    Author : Elin Ryösä; Hans Annersten; Kyösti Heinänen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; olivine; iron ore pellets; blast furnace; reduction; alkali; coating; slag formation; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract : The present work focuses on mineral reactions and slag formation of LKAB olivine iron ore pellets (MPBO) subjected to reducing conditions in the LKAB experimental blast furnace (EBF). The emphasis is on olivine reactions with surrounding iron oxides. Many factors influence the olivine behaviour. READ MORE

  4. 2. Some aspects on the reduction of olivine pellets in laboratory scale and in an experimental blast furnace

    Author : Jerker Sterneland; KTH; []
    Keywords : Olivine; pellets; pellet testing; reduction softening melting; MPBO; blast furnace; reduction; quenching; dissection; coating; sticking; coated pellets;

    Abstract : The reduction behaviour of the olivine iron ore pellet MPBOwas studied in laboratory scale at KTH as well as in the LKABexperimental blast furnace. Initially, a newreduction-under-load, or so-called reduction/softening/melting,test equipment was developed. READ MORE

  5. 3. Low temperature olivine alteration ; an experimental approach

    Author : Anna Neubeck; Nils Holm; Gretchen Früh-Green; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Olivine alteration; hydrogen; methane; serpentinization; geokemi; Geochemistry;

    Abstract : Water reacting with minerals to alter or dissolve them is a common phenomenon on Earth, leading to a unique chemical composition of the oceans and continents. The continuous circulation of elements and the chemical reactions between them creates the extraordinary environment prevailing on our Earth today and was probably an important requirement for the onset of life on our planet.

  6. 4. Mössbauer spectroscopy under high pressures and temperatures

    Author : Elke Hålenius; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Mössbauer; high pressure - high temperature; iron; olivine; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; mineralogi; petrologi och tektonik; Mineral Chemistry; Petrology and Tectonics;

    Abstract : Iron plays a very important role in Earth materials. 57Fe- Mössbauer spectroscopy provides valuable information on the oxidation state and the near surrounding of iron atoms in crystal structures. READ MORE

  7. 5. Abiotic and biotic methane dynamics in relation to the origin of life

    Author : Nguyen Thanh Duc; David Bastviken; Patrick Crill; Nils Holm; Edward Hornibrook; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; methane; methanogens; methane formation; methane oxidation; lake sediment; olivine; origin of life; geokemi; Geochemistry;

    Abstract : Methane (CH4) plays an important role in regulating Earth’s climate. Its atmospheric concentrations are related to both biotic and abiotic processes. The biotic one can be formed either by chemoautotrophic or heterotrophic pathways by methanogens. READ MORE
