Abstract
Liquidus-phase equilibrium data of the present authors for the PbO-ZnO-SiO2 system, combined with phase equilibrium and thermodynamic data from the literature, were optimized to obtain a self-consistent set of parameters of thermodynamic models for all phases. The modified quasichemical model was used for the liquid slag phase. From these model parameters, the optimized ternary-phase diagram was back-calculated.
