CRITICAL-EVALUATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES AND PHASE-DIAGRAMS OF THE MNO-TIO2, MGO-TIO2, FEO-TIO2, TI2O3-TIO2, NA2O-TIO2, AND K2O-TIO2 SYSTEMS

All available thermodynamic and phase diagram data have been critically assessed for all phases in the MnO-TiO2, MgO-TiO2, FeO-TiO2, Ti2O3-TiO2, Na2O-TiO2, and K2O-TiO2 systems at 1 bar pressure from 298 K to above the liquidus temperatures. All reliable thermodynamic and phase diagram data have been simultaneously optimized to obtain, for each system, one set of model equations for the Gibbs energy of the liquid slag as a function of composition and temperature and equations for the Gibbs energies of all compounds as functions of temperature. The modified quasichemical model was used for the molten slag phases.
