The liquid copper alloys containing 0.2-1.0 mass% Mn and 0.03-0.5 mass% P were equilibrated with MnO saturated and unsaturated MnO-P2O5 slags in a molybdenum crucible under a flowing CO2/CO or CO2/H2 atmosphere in the temperature range of 1523 to 1673 K.
Manganese-phosphorus and manganese-manganese interaction parameters in liquid copper were found at 1623 K as follows:
ePMn= -0.010 eMnP= -0.021 eMnMn= 0.027
These values were examined by considering the relationships among oxygen partial pressure, the activities of manganese and phosphorus in liquid copper. The standard free energy changes for the reduction of solid MnO, MnO(s)=Mn+1/2 O2(g), and the dissolution of pure liquid manganese in liquid copper, Mn (l)=Mn, were determined as a function of temperature.
The activities of MnO and P2O5 in MnO-P2O5 slags were measured at 1573 K as a function of the composition. The temperature dependence equation of the P2O5 activity was also derived in the MnO saturated condition. On the basis of the present results, examination was done concerning phosphorus and manganese equilibria between hot metal and the MnO-P2O5 slag.
