Abstract

Vapor pressure of zinc from the Fe t O-CaO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 slag system was measured by the Knudsen effusion method under conditions with varying parameters such as temperature, slag compositions, and initial contents of zinc and chlorine. In the thermodynamic estimations using thermodynamic parameters under the experimental temperature range, for slag samples without Cl addition, it suggests that metallic Zn is the only vapor species. In the case of Cl addition, gaseous ZnCl 2 is predominant and the formation ratio of metallic Zn and FeCl 2 can be neglected. In the measurements, the vapor pressures of metallic Zn and ZnCl 2 increase with increasing temperature. For ZnCl 2 , the logarithm of vapor pressure (In P) is a linear function of the reciprocal of temperature (1/T), while in the case of gaseous metallic Zn, a non-linear relationship is observed between In P and 1/T. The slag basicity exhibits the different effects on the vapor pressures of metallic Zn and ZnCl 2 . The former increases with increasing the slag basicity, while the latter decreases. A high FeO content in the slag tends to increase the vapor pressure of metallic Zn and ZnCl 2 .
