Roasting experiments were carried out with pure reagents as raw materials.The self-sintering behaviors of molybdenite(MoS_(2))during oxidation were investigated by thermodynamic calculation,XRD,SEM-EDS and high-temperature in situ analysis.The results indicate that the desulfurization efficiency of MoS_(2) pellet decreases with the increase of roasting temperature from 600 to 700℃,owing to the expansion of sintered area.At the very beginning of roasting,sintered layer can be rapidly formed and cover the pellet surface on the windward side,and meanwhile,MoO_(2)and Mo_(4)O_(11) intensively appear and constitute the sintered layer together with MoO_(3).Moreover,it is proven that MoO_(3)-rich products containing low-valence molybdenum oxides have low melting points,thus easy to be melted during the occurrence of exothermic reaction between MoS_(2) and O_(2),which leads to the sintering of materials.
