“…[20][21][22][23][24][25][26] In order to get a full understanding about the thermodynamics of the reducing de-P process, it is of great importance to know the activities of different components involved in the manganese ferroalloys, such as Ca, P, Si, Mn and C. Efforts have been devoted to describe the thermodynamic properties of Mn-based melts. A large amount of experimental works has been done for the systems Mn-Fe, [27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Mn-Si, [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] Mn-C, 35,36,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] Mn-Fe-Si, 52,53) Mn-Fe-C, [45][46][47]49,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60] Mn-…”
