A1 - Müller, Ralf T1 - Corrosion and crystallization at the inner surfaces of glass bricks N2 - Glass bricks are important transparent building materials. They are produced by joining two halves of glass pressings at 600–700 °C. During this production process alkali oxides evaporate and are redeposited at the cooler inner front surfaces of the bricks. This surface layer reacts with H2O and CO2 from the residual brick atmosphere, leading to the formation of an alkali-rich silicate-hydrate layer of ≥50 nm thickness, which could be evidenced leading to a reduced nano-hardness of similar thickness, and from which NaHCO3 crystals can finally grow. Climate chamber experiments (repeated cooling between at -8 and -14 °C and reheating to 0 to 15 °C) resulted in reversible NaHCO3 crystallization and redissolution, presumably influenced by water evaporation or condensation and driven by the NaHCO3 supersaturation of the silicate-hydrate layer. Depending on the time–temperature schedule, different crystal morphologies became visible in this closed system, e.g. isolated spherical crystals, crystals arranged in chains and in double-chains, respectively, which can limit already the transmittance of the glass bricks. When a crack occurs or the brick is opened, the hygroscopic NaHCO3 crystals take up more H2O from the ambient, react irreversibly with the glass surface, finally leading to a total loss of transmittance.

T1 - Model for sintering polydispersed glass particles N2 - We propose a model to describe the sintering kinetics of polydispersed glass particles, having no adjustable parameter. The model is based on three sintering stages: a pure ‘Frenkel' (F) first step, a mixed ‘Frenkel/Mackenzie–Shuttleworth' stage, and a third, pure ‘Mackenzie–Shuttleworth' (MS) step. The model considers sample shrinkage as the sum of the partial shrinkage of several clusters, each consisting of equally sized particles and each showing independent F or MS behavior. The overall set of clusters mimics the specimen's real particle size distribution. We then introduce the concept of neck forming ability, which allows the formation of necks among particles of different sizes, relaxing the clustering condition. Using experimental physical parameters: particle size distribution, viscosity, surface energy, and the theoretical neck forming ability, the model describes well the sintering kinetics of an alumino-borosilicate glass powder having polydispersed, irregular shaped particles in a variety of temperatures. The sintering kinetics of the real powder is slower, but not far from the calculated kinetics of a monodispersed distribution containing only particles of average size. Thus the model provides a tool for estimating the sintering kinetics of real glass powders, for any size distribution and temperature, thus minimizing the number of laboratory experiments.

When the sands used directly, the formed glasses had slight blue colour, the origin of which may be connected with aluminium and iron impurities in the sands. Presence of these impurities is confirmed by chemical analyse and ESR study data. Allso have been studied liquid gas extraction phenomena in the sands and melted glass samples and determined some physical properties of them.

A1 - Heide, G. T1 - Water and the glass transition temperature of silicate melts N2 - Literature data on the effect of water on the glass transition in silicate melts are gathered for a broad range of total water content cw from 3 × 10-4 to 27 wt%. In terms of a reduced glass transition temperature Tg*=Tg/TgGN, where TgGN is Tg of the melt containing cw?0.02 wt% total water, a uniform dependence of Tg* on total water content (cw) is evident for silicate melts. Tg* decreases steadily with increasing water content, most strongly at the lowest water content where H2O is dominantly dissolved as OH. For water-rich melts, the variation of Tg* is less pronounced, but it does not vanish even at the largest water contents reported (?27 wt%). Tg* vs. cw is fitted by a three-component model. This approach accounts for different transition temperatures of the dry glass, hydroxyl and molecular water predicting Tg* as a weighted linear combination of these temperatures. The required but mostly unknown water speciation in the glasses was estimated using IR-spectroscopy data for hydrous sodium trisilicate and rhyolite.
