Description
Summary:The evaluation of the thermodynamic properties and the phase diagrams for the binary BaO-SiO 2 and SrO-SiO 2 systems is carried out using a structural model for silicate melts and glasses. This thermodynamic model is based on the assumption that an addition of metal oxides to silica results in the depolymerization of the silicon-oxygen network, with a characteristic free energy change. A least squares optimization program permits all available thermodynamic and phase diagram data to be optimized simultaneously. In this manner, data for the above binary systems have been analysed and represented with a small number of parameters. The resulting equations represent the thermodynamic and phase diagram data for the alkaline-earth oxide-silica systems within error limits for most of the experimental data. In particular, the measured limiting liquidus slope, at X SiO 2 = 1, is well reproduced.
