13 Conclusion The effect of anionic slag structure and charge compensation behavior on sulfide capacity of CaO-FeO-Al 2 system is investigated by measurement of sulfide capacity and Micro-Raman spectroscopy. From the results of present work, founding are summarized as followings: 01 The charge compensation of M2+ (M:Fe,Ca) : The Inflection Point of the sulfide capacity in the charge balancing join due to the deficit or excess charge compensator. 02 The cationic substitution (CaO FeO) : The Fe-Q 2 units increases as CaO FeO substitution (F/(C+F)>0.5) by figure out the deconvolution of raman spectra 03 The cationic substitution (CaO FeO) : The strong interaction between Fe 2+ and S 2- in the CaO-rich region. The weak interaction between Fe 2+ and S 2- in the FeO-rich region.
