Abstract
Deoxidation and desulfurization equilibria of liquid iron, as influenced by neodymium, were investigated at a temperature of 1 873 K. The following thermodynamic values for neodymium deoxidation and desulfurization were derived: Nd2O3(s)=2Nd/(mass%, in Fe)+3O/ (mass%, in Fe) log K Nd2o3=-13.5(±0.4) Nd2O 2S(s)=2Nd/ (mass%, in Fe) +2O/(mass%, in Fe)+S/(mass%, in Fe) log KNd2O3S=-13.0(±0.4) e○Nd- 147(±17), esNd= 178(±50) Using the thermodynamic data derived in this study, deoxidation and desulfurization equilibria of liquid iron by neodymium are presented for the Fe-Nd-O-S system. Moreover, the interaction parameter, Al for Nd (eALNBd) was determined to be 4.9(±4.1) at 1 873 K.
