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 Al2O3 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.
