Abstract:
In accordance with the coexistence theory of slag structure, CaO-SiO
2 and CaO-FeO-SiO
2 phase diagrams and corresponding thermodynamic data, a calculating model of mass action concentrations for CaO-FeO-SiO
2 melts at 1 600℃ has been deduced. The calculated contours of iso-mass action concentration
NFeO are fairly identical with the contours of iso-activity
αFeO measured. The apices of iso-
NFeO contours are located at the range of slag basicity 1.703 to 1,778, so for the decarburization and precipitation deoxidation the slag basicity had better be kept in that range, and on the contrary for diffusion deoxi-dation the slag basicity had better be kept off that range. Similarity of iso-silicates mass action concentration contours to the corresponding iso-thermal contours of CaO-FeO-SiO
2 phase diagram shows that silicates play an important role in the melting temperatures of slag system mentioned.
