چکیده
Abstract This paper presents a summary of the FactSage thermochemical software and databases. FactSage was introduced in 2001 and is the fusion of the FACT-Win/F*A*C*T and ChemSage/SOLGASMIX thermochemical packages that were founded over 25 years ago. The FactSage package runs on a PC operating under Microsoft Windows and consists of a series of information, database, calculation and manipulation modules that enable one to access and manipulate pure substances and solution databases. With the various modules one can perform a wide variety of thermochemical calculations and generate tables, graphs and figures of interest to chemical and physical metallurgists, chemical engineers, corrosion engineers, inorganic chemists, geochemists, ceramists, electrochemists, environmentalists, etc. In this article emphasis is placed on the calculation and manipulation of phase diagrams. However the reputation of FactSage has been established mainly in the field of complex chemical equilibria and process simulation where the software has unique capabilities. Some of these capabilities are also shown in this paper. © 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

Prediction of Slag Occurrence in a Lignite-Fired Utility Boiler
Lignite from Mae Moh mine is the largest source of solid fuel for electricity generation in Thailand. It is used in pulverized coal-fired boilers of a 2400 MW thermal power plant. Its high CaO content in ash is a major concern that can affect severe slagging. In this paper, potential of slag occurrence in the power plant was investigated by numerical simulation. The FactSage thermochemical pack...
متن کاملThe use of equilibrium thermodynamic models for the prediction of inorganic phase changes in the co-firing of wheat straw with El Cerrejon coal
The combustion of pulverised coal in power stations results in slagging and fouling in the boiler section and this can be a more severe problem when co-fired with biomass, especially straw. Prediction of the effects of different combination of biomass and coal are helpful to the plant operators. Predictive software gives information about the onset and nature of the slag formed but often the re...

Thermodynamic predicting analysis of three binary systems Al-Fe, Al-Ni and Ni-Fe are shown in this paper. Thermodynamic analysis involved calculation of activities, coefficient of activities, partial and integral values for enthalpies and Gibbs energies of mixing and excess energies at three different temperatures: 1873K, 1900K and 1973K, as well as calculated phase diagrams, for the investigat...
متن کاملEffect of Thermochemical Treatment on The Structure, Hardness and Wear Behavior of Electrolss Ni-P Coated 4140 Steel
In the present stady, thermochemical treatment in H2/NH3 atmosphere was used as a post-treatment for electroless Ni-P coatings on the AISI 4140 steel substrates. High phosphorus (9%) coatings with thicknesses of 2, 24 and 48 m were applied and the effects of the thermochemical treatment on the morphology, structural changes, roughness, hardness and wear resistance of coatings were studied b...
