Abstract

Although iron oxide is the most important component of steelmaking slags, no reliable technique for its in‐situ determination has been established yet. This paper however, presents data on the effect of iron oxide on the electrical conductivity of CaO‐SiO2‐FeO‐Fe2O3 melts, and on limiting current and impedance in direct current or alternating current charge transfer at iron electrodes. The strong influence of iron oxide content can be utilized for in‐situ determination of total iron oxide content and Fe3+/Fe2+ ratio. The possible probe designs are presented and the principles and procedures of the measurement are explained.
