Abstract

The phase equilibria of the binary ZnO-SiO2 and ternary MgO-ZnO-SiO2 systems were investigated. Several experiments on the MgO-ZnO-SiO2 were carried out at 1550 °C and 1600 °C. The equilibrated samples were observed and analyzed using EPMA and SEM/EDS. A renewed ternary peritectic point at 1573 °C for the olivine, periclase, zincite, and liquid slag phases was observed. Based on the experimental data from this study and previous studies, the thermodynamic parameters for the binary ZnO-SiO2 and ternary MgO-ZnO-SiO2 systems were developed or optimized with the modified quasichemical model using thermochemical software, FactSage 8.3. The optimized phase diagram of the binary ZnO-SiO2 system fits well with experimental data from previous studies, and its thermodynamic parameters showed reasonable values. The optimized phase diagrams of the ternary MgO-ZnO-SiO2 system at 1550 °C–1740 °C are in good agreement with the phase equilibria studies in this study and previous research.
