Slags produced after reduction smelting of Bayan Obo niobium concentrate were taken for research, and laws of influence for basicity on slag viscosity, turning point temperature and viscous-flow activation energy were explored by testing viscosity characteristics of high-temperature smelting slags. Samples taken at the turning point temperature and as the viscosity reaching 8 Pa·s were quenched respectively, and then taken for observing crystalline phases. It is found that the basicity of the slags exerts a significant effect on its high-temperature viscosity characteristics. An increase in temperature leads to a decrease in viscosity, while as basicity increases, the viscosity initially decreases and then increases. Specifically, at a basicity of 1.0, the viscosity attains the minimum value of 0.2 Pa·s at 1 500 ℃; while at 2.0, the viscosity increases remarkably. Both the turning point temperature and viscous flow activation energy at a basicity of 1.0 reach their minimum values, 1 325 ℃ and 243.61 kJ/mol. At different basicity, slags initially have different crystalline phases. At a basicity of 0.5, calcium silicate is the main precipitated phase; at 1.0, perovskite and titanite are precipitated; while at 1.5 and 2.0, perovskite is the dominant precipitated phase.
