Abstract: The principle and steps for the calculation of component activities in fluxes using Schuhmann method are described. On the foris of Gibbs-Duhem equation and using Cr2O3 activities in BaO-BaF2-Cr2O3 system fiuxes, BaO activities at 1523 and 1673K are calculated, respectivelg,and the isoactivity diagrums of BaO are also obtained. The calculation results indicate that BaO activity increases with increasing its content in fiuxes, and decreaaes with the increase of Cr2O3 content at a given XBaO/XBaF2 ratio.

Key words: Shuhmann method fluxes, activity, Gibbs-Duhem equation
