Popis: The redox equilibria of copper ions in the molten NaO0.5-SiO2, NaO0.5-NaF-SiO2, NaO0.5-CaO-SiO2, CaO-CaF2-SiO2, CaO-MgO-SiO2, and CaO-SiO2 systems have been measured in order to seek a new measure of flux basicity. The Cu2+/Cu+ ratio decreases with increasing the content of basic oxide. The correlations between the Cu2+/Cu+ ratio and other refining indexes, such as carbonate, sulfide, and phosphate capacities, CaO activity, and theoretical optical basicity are discussed.
