Abstract: | The distribution of tin, selenium and tellurium between alumina-containing fayalitic slags and metallic copper was measured
at 1200 and 1300°C under controlled CO-CO2 atmosphere with oxygen partial pressure (pO2) in the rangePO
2 = 10-6 to 10-11 atm (1 atm = 1.013 x 102 kPa). The solubility of Sn in slag was observed to increase linearly with increasing P1/2O2. It was deduced that Sn is present in the slag in the form of SnO or Sn2 and the activity coefficient of SnO in the slag was calculated to be 1.9 at 1200°C and 0.8 at 1300°C. The solubility of Se
in the slag decreases with increasing oxygen partial pressure up topO
2l = 4 x 10−8 atm, but above this oxygen partial pressure it becomes practically constant and the ratio (pet Se in slag/pet Se in copper)
= 0.018 (at 1200°C) and 0.036 (at 1300°C). The solubility of Te shows a similar variation with oxygen partial pressure and
the ratio (pet Te in slag/pet Te in copper) = 0.026 (at 1200°C) and 0.032 (at 1300°C) abovepol
2 = 106 atm. A concept of molecular dissolution of chalcogen elements in slag was developed on the basis of thermodynamic properties
of slag, and the observed solubility of Se and Te was explained in terms of the chemical stability of the molecular cluster
FeSe and FeTe iη the slag.
