Research on Activities of CaO-SiO2-B2O3 (Al2O3, Fe2O3) Slag System
A mathematical model on activities of CaO-based slag system has been established on the bases of ion-molecule coexistence theory of melted slag structure. The activities of CaO-SiO2-B2O3 (Al2O3, Fe2O3) systems are calculated. The effects of the content of B2O3, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 on activities are analyzed. The results indicate that the activities of CaO and 2CaO•SiO2 are decreased with the increases of B2O3, Al2O3 and Fe2O3. The effect of B2O3 is most remarkable. Moreover, the activity of CaO•SiO2 can be enhanced with increasing the contents of B2O3, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 respectively. These effects of Al2O3 and Fe2O3 are very similar, whereas the effect of B2O3 is most significant. As a conclusion, B2O3 is most effective to inhibit the formation of 2CaO•SiO2 as well as to promote the dissolution of lime.
