K.S. Golubev, V.G. Konakov and E.N. Solovyeva

Abstract

he generalized model of the acid-base interaction in oxide melts was used to describe the properties of alkali-silicate melts. A model for numerical simulation of dissociation constants was proposed and verified for sodium-silicate and potassium-silicate melts. The applicability of a number of methods for the optimization of the compositional dependence of the oxide basicity (in pO terms) is compared for Na2O-SiO2 and K2O-SiO2 melts.
