High temperature fusion behavior of mixtures of ash exhibiting a wide range of melting temperature and Fe
2O
3 additive under oxidizing (Air) and reducing (CO/CO
2) atmospheres has been investigated by JIS M8801 and by X-ray diffraction method.
(1) The melting temperature of ash-Fe
2O
3 mixtures was greatly reduced in the CO/ (C0+CO
2) atmospheres of 0.09 to 0.8, where Fe
2O
3 was reduced to FeO. Hemispherical temper-ature of ash with Fe
2O
3 decreased with the increased addition of Fe
2O
3, and the minimum value of the hemispherical temperature was in the range of 1100 to 1150°C. Fe
2O
3 has been found more suitable fluxing element than Ca0 under that atmospheres.
(2) Under oxidizing, CO-and CO
2-rich atmospheres, hemispherical temperature remained constant or decreased slightly with increase Fe
2O
3 addition until Fe
2O
3 content reached about 30wt‰ and the fluxing action of iron was hardly observable.
(3) Depending on FeO content, the main compounds detected were iron silicate, hercynite, fayalite, and almandite. The minimum hemispherical temperatures of the mixtures of ash and FeO additive were almost equal to the lowest temperature eutectic points in the FeO-Al
2O
3-SiO
2 phase diagram.
