Dissolution Behavior of Sn in CaO–CaF2 Molten Flux and Its Distribution Ratio Between CaO–CaF2 Molten Flux and Liquid Iron
2021
The dissolution behavior of Sn in CaO–
$$\hbox {CaF}_2$$
flux was investigated. A chemical equilibration technique was employed which allows pure liquid Sn dissolves into the molten flux under various oxygen partial pressure and the flux composition. At an equilibrium, (% Sn) in the flux increased by increasing (% CaO) and $$p_{\text{O}_2}$$
. It was found that Sn dissolves into the molten flux as (
$$\hbox {SnO}_3$$
)
$$^{4-}$$
in the condition of the present study. Distribution of Sn between CaO saturated flux and C saturated liquid Fe was measured under a pure CO atmosphere. Sn distribution ratio (
$$L_{\text{Sn}} = (\%\,\text{Sn})_{\text{flux}}/[\%\,\text{Sn}]_{\text{iron}}$$
) was as low as $$\sim 10^{-4}$$
, which was consistent with a thermodynamic prediction. Sn distribution was favored at a lower temperature. Thermodynamic modeling was carried out for the Sn dissolution in the flux. A noticeable negative deviation between CaO and SnO was identified.
