Forming metal powders by electrolysis
ساخت پودرهای فلزی توسط الکترولیز
ABSTRACT
Fossil fuels will eventually be replaced by renewables. Currently, the most feasible and efficient way of utilising renewable energy is to convert it to electricity. In response to this change, fossil energy-based pyrometallurgical processes will inevitably shift to electricity driven processes. This chapter considers the feasibility of direct conversion of mineral to metal powder using a new electrochemical method, the FFC Cambridge process. The discussion will be on the background of electrometallurgy and powder metallurgy, the principles of the new process and its application for metal powder production, and the direct route from oxide precursors to alloyed powders.
