RAMAN SPECTRAL INVESTIGATION OF SULFATE INCLUSIONS IN SODIUM CALCIUM SILICATE GLASSES

摘要

Raman microprobe spectra were measured to identify the crystalline nature of solid inclusions found on the surfaces of bubbles in glasses formed during the sulfur oxide treatment of sodium calcium silicate glass melts. Analysis of the spectra clearly indicates that the major component in the solid inclusions was the sodium sulfate (form III) phase. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc. [References: 8]
