Abstract
The associated solution model recently applied to four binary metal-sulfur melts, Fe-S, Ni-S, Co-S, and Cu-S, is extended to ternary metal-sulfur melts from those of the binary melts. The proposed equations are used to predict the thermodynamic properties of Cu-Ni-S melts. The predicted values for the activity of sulfur at 1,473 and 1,673 K are in good agreement with the experimental data. Using these data and other pertinent thermodynamic data, two isothermal sections at 1,473 and 1,673 K are calculated. The calculated isothermal sections agree well with the experimental data available in the system.
