Abstract

Thermodynamic properties of Te-O-Na2O-SiO2 system at high temperatures are essential for improving the metallurgical processes especially for smelting the anode slime which contains tellurium compounds. However, the literatures review of previous investigation, showed that there are no liquidus data reported for this system. In the present study the experimental data were obtained by equilibrating the high purity of oxide mixtures at selected temperature, followed by rapid quenching of the equilibrated samples in cold water and compositional analysis using electron probe X-ray microanalyzer. Phase characteristic and the liquidus in the Te-O-Na2O-SiO2 system have been investigated at silica saturation between 1000 and 1200 °C in equilibrium with air. New data sets of the liquidus in the Te-O-Na2O-SiO2 system have been generated and evaluated.
