Px. Zhang et Zt. Sui, CRYSTALLIZATION KINETICS OF THE COMPONENT CONTAINING BORON IN MGO-B2O3-SIO2-AL2O3-CAO SLAG, Scandinavian journal of metallurgy, 23(5-6), 1994, pp. 244-247
The nucleation and crystal growth rates of 2MgO . B2O3 crystallite in
the slag MgO-B2O3-SiO2-Al2O-CaO were calculated with the kinetic equat
ion of glass formation, and through that the optimum temperature for 2
MgO . B2O3 crystallization was obtained. The effect of the temperatur
e of heat treatment on the efficiency of extractive boron (EEB) from t
he slag was investigated by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD)
and differential thermal analysis (DTA). It was found that the highes
t EEB occurred at the optimum temperature.
