TL;DR: In this article, the effects of alumina and chromite impurities on the liquidus temperatures in the cristobalite/tridymite (SiO2) primary phase fields in the MgO-FeO-SiO, system in equilibrium with metallic iron have been investigated experimentally.

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual framework is developed to analyze the factors influencing the steady-state deposit/interface temperature and deposit thickness in chemical systems operating in a positive temperature gradient, which can be used to explain the experimental observations in a diverse range of chemical systems and conditions, including high-temperature melts and aqueous solutions, and explain why the interface temperature under these conditions can be between Tliquidus and Tsolidus.

TL;DR: In this article, the development of new experimental techniques for the determination of phase equilibria in complex slag systems, chemical thermodynamic and viscosity models, have been combined in a custom-designed computer software package to produce limiting operability diagrams for slag system.

TL;DR: The phase equilibria in the FeO-Fe2O3-ZnO system have been experimentally investigated at oxygen partial pressures between metallic iron saturation and air using a specially developed quenching technique, followed by electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPMA) and then wet chemistry for determination of ferrous and ferric iron concentrations as discussed by the authors.
