| Abstract: | The MnO activities in (MnO-CrO
x
-CaO-SiO2)-containing melts, which were saturated with the (Mn, Cr)3O4 spinel phase, were determined at 1500 °C under an oxygen partial pressure of 10−8.99 atm. This was done by equilibrating the samples with platinum. The activity of MnO in the melt was then calculated from the
activity coefficient of manganese in the resultant Pt-Cr-Mn alloy. Darken’s quadratic formalism for ternary metallic solutions
was used to calculate the activity coefficient of manganese in the Pt-Cr-Mn system, in which platinum was considered to be
the solvent. It was found that an increase in the concentration of MnO in the melt increases both the MnO activity and the
activity coefficient of MnO. For a constant MnO concentration in the (MnO-CrO
x
-CaO-SiO2)-containing melts, the activity of MnO can be increased by increasing the basicity of the melt. In order to obtain high-manganese
recoveries from (MnO-CrO
x
-CaO-SiO2)-containing melts into an alloy phase, basic slags in which the activity coefficient of MnO is high should therefore be used. |
