Proposition of a Thermogravimetric Method to Measure the Ferrous Iron
Dolomite and iron oxides were identified by QEMSCAN ... To remove volatile compounds from the ore that would interfere with the measurement of ferrous iron, the ore is heated up to 900 °C. Argon atmosphere was used to avoid oxidation of iron in this step. After the mass is only decreasing slightly, the atmosphere is changed to an oxygen ...
