Abstract:Based on the simplex centroid method in the mixing test, prediction models for the viscosity and melting property of CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-2%TiO2 slags were established. The metallurgical properties of different Al2O3 titanium-containing slags were studied by using the prediction models, FactSage and XRD. The influence of w(MgO)/w(Al2O3) on viscosity and melting property of high Al2O3 slag was also discussed. The results show that prediction models of slag viscosity and melting property has high accuracy, with errors less than 5% and 2%, respectively. With the increase of w(Al2O3) from 10% to 18%, viscosity (η), melting temperature (tM) and liquidus temperature (tL) all increased. Both the precipitation temperature and precipitation amount of the low melting point Melilite phase increased. The precipitation temperature of the high melting point perovskite phase CaTiO3 and low melting point CaSiO3 phase increased first and then decreased. A small amount of high melting point Spinel phase was precipitated. When w(Al2O3) was less than 15%, the slag viscosity was below 0.55 Pa·s at 1 450-1 525 ℃, and 0.32-0.39 Pa·s at 1 500 ℃, tM and tL were lower than 1 370 ℃ and 1 330 ℃, respectively; w(Al2O3) was 15%-18%, the high melting point phase CaTiO3 and spinel were more precipitated from slags. The viscosity was more sensitive to temperature, the viscosity was about 0.3 Pa·s at 1 525 ℃, and increased to 0.8 Pa·s at 1 450 ℃. When w(MgO)/w(Al2O3) increased from 0.24 to 0.72, viscosity decreased, and tM and tL increased. The precipitation temperature of Melilite was about 1 425 ℃, and the precipitation temperature of CaTiO3 increased from 1 310 ℃ to 1 394 ℃. The precipitation amount of CaSiO3 decreased, and the precipitation amount of spinel increased significantly. In addition, the slags base phase of different w(Al2O3) and w(MgO)/w(Al2O3) are Melilite, and their precipitation temperature is higher than CaTiO3. Al2O3 has a significant effect on the precipitation temperature and tM of Melilite, w(MgO)/w(Al2O3) has a significant effect on the precipitation temperature and tL of CaTiO3.When the basicity is 1.21, the suitable w(MgO)/w(Al2O3) of high w(Al2O3)slag is 0.48 to 0.60, tM and tL are about 1 400 ℃ and 1340 ℃, respectively, and the slag has good fluidity and stability.
