The behavior of uranium oxide-silica, zirconia-alumina, zirconia-iron oxide, uranium oxideiron oxide, zirconia-alumina-iron oxide, and uranium oxide-iron oxide-zirconia melts was experimen tally investigated in the air. The existence of two phase fluids in these systems was confirmed. It is proposed that the reason for the phase separation is the formation of complexes with the general formula x[M 3+ O 8/2 ] [Me 4+ O 8/2 ]. The influence of a complex concentration on the density and surface tension of melts in the ZrO 2 -Al 2 O 3 system was demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
