“…In this study, the mass action concentration of iron oxides Fe t O, i.e., N Fe t O , is recommended to present slag oxidization ability. The IMCT [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] proposed that all iron oxides in metallurgical slags are composed of ion couple (Fe In order to examine the reliability of the IMCT-Ni model developed in the present study based on the ion and molecule coexistence theory, the calculated mass action concentrations of iron oxides N Fe t O in CaO-FeO-Fe 2 O 3 slags, 32,59,60) CaO-SiO 2 -FeO-Fe 2 O 3 slags, 33,38,[61][62][63][64][65][66] CaO-SiO 2 -FeOFe2O3-Al2O3 slags, 34) CaO-SiO2-FeO-Fe2O3-MgO slags, 35,67) CaO-SiO2-MgO-FeO-Fe2O3-MnO slags, 36) CaO-SiO2-MgO-FeO-P2O5 slags, 37) MgO-FeO-Fe2O3-P2O5 slags, 38) CaO-FeO-Fe2O3-P2O5 slags 39) and CaO-SiO2-MgO-FeO-Fe 2 O 3 -MnO-Al 2 O 3 -P 2 O 5 slags 40) were compared with all available measured Fe t O activities a Fe t O, measured at different temperatures reported in various literatures by different investigators, respectively. The experimental techniques employed by these investigators for FetO activity measurements in different slags were summarized in Table 2.…”
