Abstract

The oxidation of FeO in 30 wt pct FeO-35 wt pct CaO-35 wt pct SiO 2 slag was investigated as part of a wider study on the recovery of Fe units through magnetic separation. A confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM) technique was used to visualize the oxidation of FeO in the liquid slag. The formation event was observed in situ under the CSLM and the onset of precipitation on a surface of the slag liquid was recorded at various temperatures in an oxidizing atmosphere. A Time-Temperature-Transformation (TTT) diagram was constructed based on the CSLM results. Samples obtained from the CSLM heating chamber were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS).
