Thermodynamic Properties, Viscosity, and Structure of CaO-SiO2-MgO-Al2O3-TiO2-Based Slag.
The effect of TiO2 and the MgO/Al2O3 ratio on the viscosity, heat capacity, and enthalpy change of CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-TiO2 slag at constant heat input was studied. The variation of slag structure was analyzed by the calculation of activation energy and FTIR spectrum measurements. The results showed that the heat capacity and enthalpy change of the slag decreased with the increase of TiO2 content. Under constant heat supply, the fluctuations in slag temperature were relatively apparent, and the temperature of slag increased as the TiO2 content increased. The viscosity of slag decreased due to the increase in slag temperature. Increasing the MgO/Al2O3 ratio could decrease the temperature and viscosity of slag. The effect of increasing the MgO/Al2O3 ratio on the viscosity was more pronounced than the decreasing temperature caused by increasing the MgO/Al2O3 ratio. The apparent activation energy decreased with increasing TiO2 content and MgO/Al2O3 ratio. The Ti-O bonds formed with TiO2 addition, and the Ti-O bonds were weaker than Si-O bonds, which resulted in the decrease in heat capacity and viscosity of slag.
