Sulfide capacities of MnO-SiO/sub 2/ slags

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6252734
Sulfide capacities of the binary molten MnO-SiO/sub 2/ slag calculated a priori based on fundamental solution concepts, are in excellent agreement with measurements in the entire range of acidic and basic compositions. Our results are more accurate than calculations based on the concept of optical basicity even when the parameters used to define basicity have been empirically adjusted to fit data on a manganese oxide containing slag. Our method makes it clear why a concept that uses a single parameter, such as optical basicity, cannot accurately describe sulfide capacities. 12 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.
