Abstract
Activity values of Al2O3 in CaO-Al2O3-B2O3 systems at 1773 K (1500 °C) were determined experimentally using a gas–copper–slag equilibrium technique. The oxygen partial pressure was controlled by C/CO equilibrium. A negative deviation from ideality was found in measured activity of Al2O3. The activity coefficient of Al2O3 decreases with the increase of CaO/Al2O3 ratio. To interpret the variation of Al2O3 activity with composition, structures of CaO-Al2O3-B2O3 glassy slag were investigated by using Raman spectroscopy. It was found that the number of bridging oxygen decreases with increasing CaO/Al2O3 ratio. With increase of CaO content, the aluminate network was gradually depolymerized, which corresponds to the decrease of the activity coefficient of Al2O3.
