Calculations of the thermodynamic properties of metallurgical solutions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6822994
Predictive theories for metallurgical solutions are important precursors for computer software in chemical and extractive metallurgy. A limited selection of concepts useful for slags and other ionic systems will be discussed, and include the quasichemical theory, the conformal ionic solution theory, and polymer theory. We emphasize theories which usefully predict solution properties of multicomponent ionic systems, such as silicates and molten salts, to illustrate the range of possible uses. 21 refs., 5 figs.
