Activities of FeO in CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-FeO slags were determined at 1673 K by electrochemical of the solid electrolyte cell： Mo [Mo＋MoOu[ZrO2（MgO）[Fe＋（CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-FeO）＋Ag[Fe. The influences of slag compositions and basicity on FeO activities were analyzed. The results reveal that, for slags of fixed （%CaO）/（%SiO2） ratio, MgO and Al2O3 content, there was an increase of FeO activities with increase of FeO content. For slags with constant {（%CaO）＋ （%MgO）}/（%SiO2） ratio, fixed FeO and A1203 content, FeO activities decreased when MgO content increased from 5% to 10%, and increased with the increase of MgO content when it was over 10%. The FeO activities increased when （%CaO）/（%SiO2） ratio changed from 1.03 to 1.30 in the slags of constant MgO, FeO and Al2O3 content.
The sulphide capacity of CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-FetO slags was studied at 1773 K using gas-slag equilibrium techniques. Utilizing a Pt crucible, the slag was equilibrated with a mixture of gases, namely, CO, CO2, SO2 and N2 to provide the partial pressure of oxygen and sulphur. It was shown that at fixed FetO and Al2O3 contents and a fixed { （%CaO）＋（%MgO）}/（%SIO2） ratio, the sulphide capacity decreases with increasing MgO content. At a constant （%CaO）/（%SiO2） ratio and constant MgO and Al2O3 contents, increasing the FetO content of the slags also results in an increase of the sulphide capacity. The rising basicity of （%CaO）/（%SiO2） from 1.0 to 1.4 at fixed MgO, FetO and Al2O3 contents significantly increases the sulphide capacity.
