Abstract:
The analysis of XRD indicates that slag is similar with minerals in the initial sediments. However, the proportion of bauxite Al
2O
3, hematite Fe
2O
3 has a big difference. The electric structure, elastic constants of Al
2O
3 and Fe
2O
3 were calculated using the ultra soft pseudo-potential plane-wave method based on the first-principles. The results show that from the structure of material, the accumulation mode of Al
3+ and O
2- in Al
2O
3 crystal is sparser than that of Fe
3+ and O
2- in Fe
2O
3, which is the reason for their different properties. For their chemical bonds in the direction of <100> and in tangential, Fe-O is more easy to deformate and fracture than Al-O, leading to Fe
2O
3 deposition in the clean water wall. For Fe
2O
3, tangential surface plays a key role for its deposit.
