Chemical durability of some lead borate glasses in different aqueous solutions

Chemical durability of glasses obtained by vitrification of industrial wastes.

The vitrification of zinc-hydrometallurgy wastes, electric arc furnace dust (EAFD), drainage mud, and granite mud was shown to immobilize the hazardous components in these wastes. Batch compositions were prepared by mixing the wastes with glass-cullet and sand to force the final glass composition into the glass forming region of the SiO2-Fe2O3-(CaO, MgO) system. The vitrification was carried ou...

Chemical durability, specular gloss, and transmittance of optical glasses.

The chemical durability of three types of optical glass (BSC 517, BaC 572, and F 620) and chemical Pyrex llave been studied o\"er an extended pH range by means of an interfe rometer proced ure. The accompanying effect on the appearance (gloss retained) and on the transmittance of the specimens has also been determ ined. The results illustrate the con fu sion t ll at might a rise from choosin g ...

Mechanical Properties of Alkali Borate Glasses

A GLASS is, formally, a solid that solidifies without a well-defined melting point— defined as a singular temperature at which there occurs a discontinuous change in a physical property, for example specific volume, during transition between a liquid state and its corresponding solid state—but instead exhibits a continuous change in that property over a range of temperature. Glasses tend to inh...

Combined DFT, Deconvolution Analysis for Structural Investigation of Copper –doped Lead Borate Glasses

Samples from binary lead borate glass system doped with minor quantities of copper have been prepared by conventional melt-annealing technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been used to prove the amorphous nature of prepared glasses. Structural and optical properties were investigated using FTIR and UV-vis. Spectroscopic investigations were approved using density function theory (DFT) calculatio...
