Abstract
Equilibria between gas/slag/matte/spinel phases in the Cu-Fe-O-S-Si system have been experimentally studied at 1523 K (1250 °C), P(SO2) = 0.25 atm, and a range of oxygen partial pressures. The experimental technique involved high temperature equilibration using spinel substrates in controlled gas atmospheres (CO/CO2/SO2/Ar), rapid quenching of the equilibrated phases, and direct measurement of phase compositions using Electron Probe X-ray Microanalysis. The influence of temperature on the gas/slag/matte/spinel equilibria has been analyzed. Comparisons with previous studies on the gas/slag/matte/tridymite equilibria and the most recent thermodynamic database have been provided. This is the first systematic study on the influence of temperature on the gas/slag/matte/spinel equilibria in the Cu-Fe-O-S-Si system at P(SO2) = 0.25 atm.
