Abstract
The densities of molten nickel mattes Cu2S-Ni3S2 and FeS-Ni3S2 were measured in the temperature interval 970° to 1321°C over the complete composition range. Several density values were also obtained for the ternary matte Cu2S-FeS-Ni3S2 in the same temperature range. The densities of the binary mattes Cu2S-Ni3S2, FeS-Ni3S2 and ternary matte Cu2S-FeS-Ni3S2 were measured as 4.94 to 5.83 g per cu cm, 3.55 to 6.23 g per cu cm, and 2.65 to 4.92 g per cu cm, respectively. Molar volumes and excess molar volumes of the binary mattes were evaluated.
