Abstract
To guide the production of rare earth steels and optimization of recycling processes for rare earth solid wastes, the thermodynamic properties of related rare earth oxides containing systems need to be understood. However, only limited thermodynamic data are currently available for such slag systems. Based on the existing experimental data as well as thermodynamic data, thermodynamic descriptions of CaO-SiO2-Ce2O3, CaO-Al2O3-Ce2O3, Al2O3-SiO2-Ce2O3 ternary system and Ce2O3-SiO2 binary system were constructed in current work. The Gibbs energy of liquid slag was modeled by using the Modified Quasichemical Model, and the excess Gibbs energy of solid phases were described with polynomial expansions. The optimized phase diagrams are in good agreement with the experimental data in previous researches.
期刊介绍:
The design of industrial processes requires reliable thermodynamic data. CALPHAD (Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry) aims to promote computational thermodynamics through development of models to represent thermodynamic properties for various phases which permit prediction of properties of multicomponent systems from those of binary and ternary subsystems, critical assessment of data and their incorporation into self-consistent databases, development of software to optimize and derive thermodynamic parameters and the development and use of databanks for calculations to improve understanding of various industrial and technological processes. This work is disseminated through the CALPHAD journal and its annual conference.
