Influence of titanium and molybdenum oxides on the surface and bulk properties of oxide-fluoride slags

Abstract

The influence of titanium and molybdenum oxides on the surface tension and density of the Al 2 O 3 -CaO-CaF 2 melt is investigated. It is found that the addition of 4-25 mol % TiO 2 and 3 mol % MoO 3 to the melt at 1773-1923 K promotes a decrease in surface tension and an increase in density. The manifes tation of complexing properties by titanium and molybdenum is found for the studied oxide-fluoride slags, and the sizes and structure of structural units are revealed.
