Bookmark or Share- Can molten aluminium be used to reduce iron oxide (rust) into iron?EDIT: I'm hoping one could use the molten aluminium instead of aluminium dust to achieve the same reaction as occurs in the Thermite process. I know about Thermite steel rail and copper earth connection welding. My goal is to reduce rust to iron by sprinkling it (with attendant sparks) onto a molten aluminium surface.
- pyrotechnics - Best ways to start a thermite reaction? - Chemistry ...My son did thermite reactions for a 3rd. grade science project. We were able to easily initiate the reactions by using commercially-available thermite "fuses" which appear to be regular fuse that is about 2 inches long which then has a small, shiny square of metal about 1/2" x 1/2" and fuse product at the bottom.
- Maximum temperature attainable by thermite reactionIn the thermite reaction $$\ce{2Al(s) + Fe2O3(s) -> 2Fe(l) + Al2O3(s)}$$ what is the maximum temperature attainable by the products? Assume reactants at $25\ \mathrm{^\circ C}$ and $1\ \mathrm{atm}$ and that all heat capacities remain constant. I started by using Hess's law to find the enthalpy change of the reaction.
- inorganic chemistry - Testing thermite for chemical properties ...Typical military-grade thermite mixtures (e.g. used in incendiary hand grenades) contain a large amount of barium nitrate (e.g. 29.0 % in Thermate-TH3, see Patent No. US 6766744). It should be possible to detect the barium oxide that is left over after the fire, maybe first with a simple flame test on site followed by AAS (atomic absorption ...
- Iron and copper oxide for thermite - Chemistry Stack ExchangeHere is a comment on the nature of the Al/CuO thermite: 3.2. Nano-Aluminum/CuO Thermite Reaction in TJump/TOMFS. A more vigorous reaction of nano-Al was probed with a thermite mixture using CuO as the oxidizer at a heating rate of ∼5 × 10^5 K/s. where the use of the adjective 'vigorous' does not reflect, in my opinion, the intensity of the ...
