    Chemical solubility of phosphate glasses in the system Na2O-CaO-MgO-P2O5-Al2O3-TiO2 in aqueous solutions of different pH values
    (Offenbach : Verlag der Deutschen Glastechnischen Gesellschaft, 2004) Vogel, Jürgen; Wange, Peter; Knoche, Silke; Rüssel, Christian
    Phosphate glasses of different composition ranges show very different solubility behaviour in aqueous solutions of pH 4 and 5.8. With inereasing P2O5 concentrations between 38 and 52 mol% , in the system Na2O-CaO-MgO-P2O5-Al2O3-TiO2 , the dissolution rate generally increases, however, the most notable increase is observed at P2O5 concentrations larger than 48 mol%. Additives of TiO2 and AI2O3 increase the stability to corrosion. Glasses with compositions in the metaphosphate range show larger dissolution rates in slightly acidic medium than glasses near the invert glass range. Glasses in the invert glass range show a stronger increase in the dissolution rates with decreasing pH value and also deceleration of the dissolution with time.

    Crystallization and vicosity of phosphate melts in the system Na2O-CaO-MgO-P2O5-Al2O3-TiO2

    Glasses in the system Na2O-CaO-MgO-P2O5-Al2O3-TiO2 were studied with respeet to their crystallization and viscosity. Glasses in the metaphosphate range are composed of phosphate chains, and possess a comparably small tendeney to crystallization. Here, AlPO4 in a cristobalite-like modification and Ca2P2O7 are formed. Glasses in the intermediate range between metaphosphate and invert glass structures are composed of smaller phosphate units and show higher erystal growth velocities as well as higher viscosities. Additions of MgO, AI2O3 and TiO2 result in a strengthening of the glass network, and hence, inereasing viscosities and a notably smaller tendeney to crystallization.
