Model predictions of the liquidus surface of multi-component iron silicate smelting slags containing magnesia and calcia
Non-ferrous smelting slags can contain magnesia, which substantially increases the liquidus temperature. One option to counter this increase is to flux with calcia.

| Summary: | Non-ferrous smelting slags can contain magnesia, which substantially increases the liquidus temperature. One option to counter this increase is to flux with calcia. In this work, experimental liquidus measurements including new measurements on industrial slags have been compared with a FACT-based thermodynamic model, which predicts the liquidus surface of multi-component iron silicate smelting slags containing both magnesia and calcia. The predictions, which agree well with experimental results, are summarized in both isothermal and non-isothermal diagrams to give a quantitative description of the liquidus surface. |
