Abstract

A structural model for the liquid phase of silicate systems was used to obtain the SiO2-NiO-FeO phase diagram and the NiO activities at 1573 and 1673 K. The NiO activities were determined experimentally by equilibrating a pure nickel crucible with an iron-silicate slag and CO-CO2 gas mixture to produce pO2 = 10-6 and 10-10 atm. The NiO activities obtained by the structural model are in good agreement with those obtained experimentally for strongly reduction conditions (10-10 atm), due to the structural model consider only the iron in the divalent state. The Fe3+/Fe2+ ratio and the nickel oxide solubility were increased when the oxygen partial pressure and the temperature were increased.
