Constructing Isotherms of Oxygen Solubility in the Liquid Metal of the Cu-Na-K-O System

Abstract:

The thermodynamic modeling of phase equilibria in the liquid metal of the Cu–Na–O, Cu–K–O and Cu–Na–K–O systems in the temperature range of 1100–1300 °С was done. The calculations were performed using the methodology of constructing a surface of component solubility in the metal melt, which does not only allow us to calculate the isotherms of oxygen solubility in the molten metal, but also to link the changes in the composition of such molten metal with quality changes in the composition of the interaction products. The isotherms of the oxygen solubility in the liquid metal of the Cu–Na–O, Cu–K–O and Cu–Na–K–O systems were constructed.
