AbstractGadolinium and lanthanum solubility limits in a sodium-alumino-borosilicate glass system were studied. As melting temperature increased from 1400°C to 1450°C, 1500°C and 1550°C, the solubility of gadolinium in the baseline glass 15B2O3-5A12O3-20Na2O-60SiO2 (in molar composition) increased from 10.1 to 11.3, 12.2 and 13.1 (in mole percent of Gd2O3). The enthalpy change of Gd2O3 dissolution in this baseline glass is about 43.6 kJ/mol. Boron effect on lanthanum solubility was studied using the following baseline glasses: xB2O3-20Na2O- 5Al2O3-60SiO2, where x equals to 5, 10, 15, and 20, respectively. It was found that lanthanum solubility limit increased from 8.4 to 10.3, 12.5 and 14.9 (in mole percent of La2O3) as B2O3 increased from 5.1 to 9.5, 13.1 and 16.2 mol%. Gd2O. and La2O3 have similar solubility limits. Solubility limits of mixtures containing different ratios of Gd2O3 to La2O3 in the baseline glass 15B2O3-20Na2O-5A12O3-60SiO2 were found insensitive to the ratio of La/Gd. As far as gadolinium is concerned, its solubility limit will decrease when other lanthanides are introduced.

Lead bismuth titanate borosilicate glasses were prepared in the glass system 65[(PbxBi1-x)·TiO3]-34[2SiO2·B2O3]-1La2O3 (0.0≤x≤1.0) doped with one mole percent of La2O3 via conventional melt quench method. The amorphous nature of glass samples in this glass system is confirmed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) study. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) has been employed to determine the glass transition temperature, Tg, as well as crystallization temperature, Tc. DTA measurements were recorded in temperature range from 30 to 1200°C. The prepared glasses were crystallized by regulated controlled heat treatment process on the basis of their DTA results. These samples are carried out for XRD measurements in the 2θ range from 20 to 80° to study the crystallization behaviour and phase formation of the glass ceramic samples. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of these glass ceramic samples has been carried out to explore the morphology through nucleation and growth of the crystallites in the glassy matrix. The values of dielectric constant as well as dielectric loss were increased with increasing the temperature within the frequency range from 20 Hz to 100 Hz. The addition of 1 mol% of La2O3 to the lead bismuth titanate glasses enhances the crystallization and acts as donor dopant for this glass system.

ABSTRACTSulfate retention in glass during the vitrification process can be as low as 1/3 of the solubility limit, or can exceed the solubility limit if suspended in the glass in the form of droplets. This study is focused on the mechanism of incorporating and segregating sodium sulfate during the melting of an alkali-alumino-borosilicate glass batch. Batches were ramp heated at 4°C/min to temperatures ranging from 600°C to 1050°C and fractured for examination. Observation of the melts showed that as the batch temperature increases and the primary oxo-anionic, predominantly nitrate melt decomposes, the sulfate residue accumulates inside gas bubbles and is transported in them to the melt surface, where it remains segregated. The degree of sulfate incorporation into the final glass depends on the relative rates of sulfate dissolution in the borosilicate melt and sulfate lifting inside bubbles.
