As a fundamental study related to the recycle of Ni-Fe-Co alloy, the distribution equilibrium of Fe, Co and Ni between MgO saturated FeOx-MgO-SiO2 slag and nickel alloy was investigated at 1773, 1823 and 1873K with controlled oxygen partial pressure between 10-4 to 102Pa. The results suggest that most of nickel and cobalt can remain in the alloy phase with lower oxygen partial pressure, and iron can be eliminated adequately from nickel alloys with higher oxygen partial pressure. However, the solubility of nickel and cobalt oxide in the slag also increases with increasing the oxygen partial pressure. Lower oxygen partial pressure and higher temperature are favorable for decreasing the loss of nickel and cobalt into slag. An oxygen partial pressure at which the separation coefficients show minimum was observed. The MgO solubility in the FeOx-MgO-SiO2 slag decreases when the NiO content exceeds about 25% at higher oxygen partial pressure.
