The relationship of zirconium and oxygen concentrations with sulfide capacity was clarified using equilibrated molten iron with CaO‐Al 2 O 3 ‐ZrO 2 slag at 1873 K. Al 2 O 3 and CaO‐stabilized ZrO 2 crucible saturated compositions were equilibrated with CaO‐2Al 2 O 3 and crucible solid solution (Css) in the CaO‐ZrO 2 system, and with CaOZrO 2 and Css, respectively. From the concentrations of zirconium and oxygen dissolved in molten iron, ZrO 2 activities of the slag of the Al 2 O 3 crucible and ZrO 2 crucible compositions were determined to be 0.885 and 0.0343, respectively. On the other hand, the sulfur distribution ratio of the ZrO 2 crucible saturated composition was higher than that of the Al 2 O 3 crucible saturated composition. Sulfide capacities were determined to be 6.30×10 −5 and 8.07×10 −5 in the Al 2 O 3 and the ZrO 2 crucible saturated compositions, respectively.
