Basicity (slag) - Enkido

Japanese: 塩基度(スラグ) - えんきど
Basicity (slag) - Enkido

... Fluorite CaF 2 is an effective flux for increasing the fluidity of slag, but the reason for this is not fully understood.
[Slag basicity]
Just as the acidity of an aqueous solution is expressed by pH, which is defined by the hydrogen ion concentration (or more precisely, activity), slags should be defined as those with a high oxygen ion concentration as basic slags and those with a low oxygen ion concentration as acidic slags. However, due to theoretical limitations of the measurement principle, basicity is often defined as the ratio of the basic oxide concentration to the acidic oxide concentration for convenience. In general, it is said that the order of oxides from basic to acidic is Na 2 O, CaO, MgO, MnO, FeO, Fe 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , B 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , and P 2 O 5 .

…蛍石CaF2はスラグの流動性を上げるために効果的なフラックスであるが,その理由は十分理解されていない。
[スラグの塩基度]
 水溶液の酸性度が水素イオン濃度(正確には活量)で定義されるpHで記述されると同様に,スラグについては酸素イオン濃度が高いものを塩基性スラグ,低いものを酸性スラグと定義すべきであるが,測定原理の理論的制約のために便宜上塩基性酸化物濃度と酸性酸化物濃度の比をもって塩基度を定義することが多い。一般にNa2O,CaO,MgO,MnO,FeO,Fe2O3,Al2O3,TiO2,B2O3,SiO2,P2O5の順に塩基性酸化物から酸性酸化物に推移するといわれている。…
