The reoxidation behavior of steels by slag in the secondary steelmaking process was addressed by investigating the thermodynamic equilibria between the liquid iron containing Mn and P and CaO-MgO-SiO{sub 2}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-P{sub 2}O{sub 5}-MnO-Fe{sub t}O ladle slag at 1873 K. The activity coefficient of Fe{sub t}O shows a maximum value in the vicinity of the basicity ((X{sub CaO} + X{sub MgO} + X{sub MnO})/(X{sub SiO{sub 2}} + X{sub Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}} + XP{sub 2}O{sub 5})) = 2.5 at the specific mole fraction range of Fe{sub t}O, while that of MnO seems to increase gradually with increasing the basicity. However, the values of {gamma}{sub Fe{sub t}O} and {gamma}{sub MnO} showed minima with respect to P{sub 2}O{sub 5} content of slag. In addition, the values of {gamma}{sub Fe{sub t}O} and {gamma}{sub MnO} increased as (pct CaO)/(pct Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}) ratio increased at given SiO{sub 2}, MgO, and P{sub 2}O{sub 5} contents. The conversion equations between the Fe{sub t}O and MnO activities and their calculated activities via regular solution model were derived by the correlation between the measured and calculated activities over the limited ranges of Fe{sub t}O and MnO contents. The regular solution model was used to estimate the oxygen potential in the slag. For MgO saturated slags, a{sub Fe{sub t}O{sub (l)}} = 0.864a{sub FeO{sub (R.S.)}}, a{sub MnO{sub (l)}} = 6.38a{sub MnO{sub (R.S.)}}. For Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} saturated slags, a{sub Fe{sub t}O{sub (l)}} = 2.086a{sub FeO{sub (R.S.)}}, a{sub MnO{sub (l)}} = 14.39a{sub MnO{sub (R.S.)}}.
