Abstract
The theories of slag constitution are discussed in relation
to ionic melts, and the concepts are tested by making a formal
distinction between methods in which ionic species and
units of liquid structure are chosen as components. A phase
integral analysis shows the existing theories to be
essentially arbitrary. The limitations of the so called
evidences for discrete species are also discussed.
