in this research, kinetics of carbothermic reduction of molybdenite in the presence of different amounts of sodium carbonate has been studied. mixed powders consisting of molybdenite, graphite and sodium carbonate with three mole-ratios of 1:4:2,1:4:3 and 1:4:4 were mechanically activated for 40 hours. the results of x-ray diffraction on activated samples showed that no reaction occurrs in diff...
