Abstract
A high-efficiency method for producing metal from metal oxide by carbothermic reduction includes step in which a holed cake is provided, which has a composition comprising a metal oxide, a carbonaceous reducing agent, and a binder, and the holed cake has a plurality of holes. The method continues with step in which the holed cake is placed in a high-temperature furnace for carbothermic reduction, to reduce the metal oxide in the holed cake into a metal.
