Abstract: The standard reaction Gibbs energies of the distribution of sulfur between Fe(1) and the system CaO-Al₂O₃ were determined by means of the electrochemical measurement of the oxygen activity in the metal and of the FeO activity in the ionic melt at the temperature of 1600°C. The distribution coefficient of sulfur L(S, exp) is in agreement with the calculated one on the basis of the oxygen activity in the metal and of the optical basicity of the system CaO-MgO-Al₂O₃. The agreement of L(S, exp) and L(S, calc) shows an ideal behaviour of sulfur in the metal. The activity coefficient  γ(CaS) does not change with the composition.
