| Abstract: | By dehydrating crystalline Na2SiO3·9H2O, a very low melting glass of the approximate composition Na2SiO3·3H2O was obtained. The compatibility of selected inorganic compounds with this molten glass was found to be related to the nature of the cation or anion present in each compound. The behavior of organic indicator dyes in the glass melt provided further information on the nature of the molten glass, whereas the infrared spectrum of the glass gave an inconclusive result. |
