The smelting of Zn-bearing materials will produce high ZnO content slags, and the monitoring of slag properties has significant importance for the smelter. Phase diagrams can provide road maps in optimizing metallurgical processing parameters. The determination of phase diagrams in multicomponent oxide systems needs sufficient experimental data. However, thermodynamic information of ZnO rich slags is incomplete in the literature. Therefore, systematic work has been performed to determine the phase relationships in the Cu-O-ZnO, Cu-O-SiO2, ZnO-SiO2, and Cu-OZnO- SiO2 systems in previous studies. Both liquidus temperatures and the solid solubility data have been collected. The equilibration/quenching/EDS technique has been applied in determining the eutectic point of the Cu-O-ZnO-SiO2 system. The technique used in this study involved preparation of a synthetic pellet of predetermined composition. The pellet placed in a suitable container was then equilibrated at the target temperature for certain period of time, followed by rapid quenching, so that the phase assemblages at high temperatures were frozen instantly. The compositions of all phases in equilibrium were measured by EDS from the polished sections. All the results from the present study and previous studies have been used in constructing the 3D version of ternary phase diagrams of the Cu2Ox-ZnO-SiO2 system. The results of the present study will provide novel information and both for fundamental scientific research and industrial practices.
