In this work, kinetics of intermetallic compounds formation in Al-Ti system was studied by immersingoC, 850 oC and 950 oC.

At this stage, growth may be controlled by aluminum diffusion through3 formation at the interface of Ti-TiAl3. Furthermore, activation

Abstract
Celestite ore, the primary mineral for producing strontium compounds, particularly strontium carbonate, is processed using the black ash method, which involves carbothermic reduction, water leaching, and carbonation. This study aims to investigate the combined effect of mechanical activation and additional graphite on the recovery rate and purity of strontium carbonate. Celestite ore with a strontium sulfate content of 79% was obtained from the Dasht-e-Kavir mine. Acid washing with 10% hydrochloric acid significantly reduced carbonate impurities, resulting in a celestite purity of 96.9%. Mixtures of celestite and graphite with varying amounts of graphite were prepared with and without milling. The mixtures were roasted at 900 °C for 1 hour to form strontium sulfide, followed by hot water leaching. After filtration, sodium carbonate was added to the leachate containing SrS, resulting in the formation and precipitation of white strontium carbonate crystals. The results showed that the addition of graphite increased the recovery rate in unmilled specimens. However, the recovery rate decreased significantly when 1 and 10 hours of milling were applied in the presence of excess graphite. Conversely, in the absence of additional graphite, milling for 1 and 10 hours increased the strontium recovery rate to over 95%. Furthermore, the analysis of strontium carbonate obtained from the sample with the highest recovery rate showed a purity of over 99.9%.
