Abstract:
Considering that the viscosity of molten slag cannot be accurately calculated from(NBO/T) ratio using the traditional method, this paper firstly studied the effects of different oxides on the polymerization degree of molten slag, proposed a new method for calculating(NBO/T) ratio, and developed an estimation model of viscosity for aluminosilicate melts based on(NBO/T) ratio.The new viscosity model was adopted to predict the viscosities of the ternary system of CaO-SiO
2-Al
2O
3 and the quaternary systems of CaO-SiO
2-MgO-Al
2O
3 and CaO-SiO
2-Al
2O
3-RO(R
2O), and the calculated results were satisfactory in comparison with those of the Urbain model and the modified Iida model.The present model can predict the viscosity of the CaO-SiO
2-MgO-Al
2O
3-R
2O(K
2O or Na
2O) system effective.
