Abstract
The Fe-O-S system has been assessed over the whole composition range to produce a self-consistent set of thermodynamic properties of all condensed phases from 298 K to above the liquidus temperatures at ambient pressure. The liquid phase from metallic liquid to sulfide melt to oxide melt is described by a single model developed within the framework of the quasichemical formalism. The model reflects the existence of strong short-range ordering in oxide, sulfide and oxysulfide liquid. Two ranges of maximum short-range ordering in the Fe-O system at approximately FeO and Fe2O3 compositions are taken into account. Parameters of thermodynamic models have been optimized to reproduce all available thermodynamic and phase equilibrium data. The thermodynamic modeling of the Fe-O-S system performed in the present study is of particular importance for the description of the solubility of oxygen in matte.
