The oxidation and dissolution of metallic iron in silicate melts were investigated. The base composition consisted of Idaho soil with quartz and potassium feldspars as primary phases. Iron immersed in melts of unaltered soil and Si02-K20 underwent minimal oxidation at 1400 deg C. Melts consisting of soil, 10%wt of added K20 and 5-20 wt% of added Fe203 were capable of dissolving Fe.
