Abstract
The solubility of oxygen in PbO-SiO2 melts at 900°C was measured by a volumetric technique in the range oj compositions XPbO = 0.4 to 1.0 jor oxygen pressures up to 1 atm. Similar determinations at 760°C were made in the region XpbO = 0.6 to 0.75. For all composiUons, the solubility was directly proportional to the square root oj the oxygen pressure. At constant oxygen pressure, the solubility increased with the PbO content in the slag, and decreased with temperature. At 900°C and Po2 = 1 atm., the solubility S, expressed in g. atom O/mole slag, is well represented by the empirica relation:log S = 2.84 XPbO − 4.64 (0.4 < XPbO < 1.0)Similarly, for 760°C and Po2 = 1 atm.:log S = 2.92 XPbO − 4.18 (0.6 < XPbO < 0.75) The results suggest that oxygen is chemically dissolved in the slags according to the reactionPb2+ + ½O2 = Pb4+ + O2−and that the PbH ions are prejerentially associated with the “free” O2− ions in the melt.
