Towards better understanding of the phosphorus removal from hot metal with low-basicity slags, electrochemical technique incorporating MgO-stabilized zirconia was conducted to measure simultaneously the activities of FeO and P 2 O 5 within heterogeneous CaO-SiO 2 -P 2 O 5 -FeO slags. The FeO activity was fairly insensitive to the variation of Ca 3 P 2 O 8 content in solid solutions between Ca 2 SiO 4 -Ca 3 P 2 O 8 , while the P 2 O 5 activity increased with an increase in Ca 3 P 2 O 8 content.

The relationship between phosphorus distribution ratio and FeO content in molten slag was consistent with the phase diagram of the pseudo-ternary CaO-(SiO 2 + P 2 O 5 )-FeO system.
