  • Description: The effect of the addition of B[sub.2]O[sub.3] and the CaO/Al[sub.2]O[sub.3] ratios on the CaO–Al[sub.2]O[sub.3]–B[sub.2]O[sub.3] melts’ structure was fully analyzed by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results show that, with the increase in CaO/Al[sub.2]O[sub.3] ratios, the charge compensation for [AlO[sub.4]][sup.5−] tetrahedron changed from the oxygen tricluster structure to the charge provided by Ca[sup.2+], and the structure of [AlO[sub.4]][sup.5−] tetrahedron was stabilized. The addition of B[sub.2]O[sub.3] reduced the degree of polymerization of the aluminate melt, which, in turn, lowered the melt viscosity; in the systems with CaO/Al[sub.2]O[sub.3] mole ratio less than 1, the added B[sub.2]O[sub.3] mainly existed in the form of [BO[sub.3]][sup.3−], which reduced the symmetry and the strength of the melt network structures; in the higher CaO/Al[sub.2]O[sub.3] ratio systems, the depolymerization ability of the addition of B[sub.2]O[sub.3] on aluminate network structures was enhanced with the increase in CaO/Al[sub.2]O[sub.3] ratios, and the overall degree of polymerization of the melt decreased. The viscosity measurement shows that B[sub.2]O[sub.3] lowers the viscosity of CaO–Al[sub.2]O[sub.3] melts, which was consistent with the results predicted by MD simulations.
