Influence of FeO/SiO2 and CaO/SiO2 Ratios in Iron-Saturated ZnO-Rich Fayalite Slags on the Corrosion of MgO
The corrosion behavior of MgO in iron-saturated ZnO-rich fayalite (ZFS) slags having various FeO/SiO2 ratio and CaO/SiO2 ratio was investigated using MgO crucible tests for 12 h at 1200 degrees C. The FeO/SiO2 and CaO/SiO2 ratios in the ZFS slags were varied from 1.0 to 2.2, and from 0.04 to 0.32, respectively. In all of the tests, it was observed that MgO dissolves into ZFS slags and that (Zn,Fe,Mg)(2)SiO4 olivine and (Zn,Fe,Mg)O solid solution are formed at the crucible/slag interface. The MgO dissolution decreased with the FeO/SiO2 ratio up to a value of 1.7 and then slightly increased, whereas it continuously increased with the CaO/SiO2 ratio. There is no obvious relationship between the amount of olivine and the FeO/SiO2 ratio or CaO/SiO2 ratio. In comparison, the formation of (Zn,Fe,Mg)O solid solution is enhanced by increasing the FeO/SiO2 ratio or CaO/SiO2 ratio in ZFS slags. The results suggest that MgO corrosion is the lowest for FeO/SiO2 and CaO/SiO2 ratios around 1.7 and 0, respectively.
