Abstract
The structural properties of phosphorus are key factors influencing the reduction reaction rate in phosphate ore smelting slags. Nevertheless, investigations regarding the structural properties of phosphorus in phosphate ore smelting slags and their migration mechanisms remain undocumented. The present study revealed that phosphorus in slags containing 3–17 wt% P2O5 manifests distinct cationic affinity over the temperature range of 1100–1520 °C. This ionic selectivity drives liquid-liquid phase separation between phosphate-rich and silicate-dominated regions in the slag. Structural analysis of the NMR spectra reveals that with increasing P2O5 content from 3 wt% to 17 wt%, the polymerization degree of silicate structural units rises from 0.23 to 1.35 at 1520 °C, while that of aluminum structural units decreases from 3.36 to 2.57. Meanwhile, the polymerization degree of phosphate structural units increases from 0.35 to 0.48. During cooling, phosphorus migrates from bottom slag to top slag regions, concomitant with its enrichment from the silicate phase to the phosphate phase.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
