According to the experimental results of hot metal dephosphorization by CaO-based slags at a commercial-scale hot metal pretreatment station, activity a P 2 O 5 of P 2 O 5 in the CaO-based slags has been determined using the calculated comprehensive mass action concentration N Fe t O of iron oxides by the ion and molecule coexistence theory (IMCT) for representing the reaction ability of Fe t O, i.e., activity of a Fe t O . The collected ten models from the literature for predicting activity coefficient c P 2 O 5 of P 2 O 5 in CaO-based slags have been evaluated based on the determined activity a P 2 O 5 of P 2 O 5 by the IMCT as the criterion. The collected ten models of activity coefficient c P 2 O 5 of P 2 O 5 in CaO-based slags can be described in the form of a linear function as log c P 2 O 5 y ¼ c 0 þ c 1 x, in which independent variable x represents the chemical composition of slags, intercept c 0 including the constant term depicts temperature effect and other unmentioned or acquiescent thermodynamic factors, and slope c 1 is regressed by the experimental results. Thus, a general approach for obtaining good prediction results of activity a P 2 O 5 of P 2 O 5 in CaO-based slags is proposed by revising the constant term in intercept c 0 for the collected ten models. The better models with an ideal revising possibility or flexibility in the collected ten models have been selected and recommended.
