Abstract

The effect of Al2O3 and CaO/SiO2 on the viscosity of the CaO-SiO2-10 mass pct MgO-Al2O3 slags was studied at fully liquid temperatures of 1773 K (1500 C) and below. At fixed CaO/SiO2 between 0.8 and 1.3, higher Al2O 3 content increased the slag viscosity due to the polymerization of the aluminate structures. At fixed Al2O3 of 15 and 20 mass pct, increasing the CaO/SiO2 from 0.8 to 1.3 resulted in lower viscosity due to the depolymerization of the aluminate structure.
