Dissolution, selective leaching, and stress-corrosion cracking are all processes which can
degrade the performance of silica and silicate glasses exposed to aqueous environments …

Palagonite is the first stable product of volcanic glass alteration. It is a heterogeneous
material, usually with highly variable optical and structural properties, ranging from a clear …

Abstract International Simple Glass–a six oxide borosilicate glass selected by the
international nuclear glass community to improve the understanding of glass corrosion …

Thermally assisted alkali activation of silica-rich glass powder to produce sustainable
binders is investigated. Glass powder activated using NaOH provides higher compressive …

Microorganisms play an important role in the weathering of silicate minerals in many
subsurface environments, but an unanswered question is whether the mineral plays an …

The first-order dissolution rate law is used for nuclear waste glass performance predictions
since 1984. A first discussion of the role of saturation effects was initiated at the MRS …

Infrared reflection spectra from alkali silicate glasses exposed to water for various times are
analyzed using several causal methods, based on Kramers–Kronig (KK) relations between …

Ancient to modern glass used for stained glass windows, representative of the main
composition types (Ca-rich, Na-and Ca-rich and K-rich) were treated with boiling …

The reaction of feldspar with an aqueous solution is examined by complementing
dissolution rate measurements with analysis of mineral surface chemistry. Rates of feldspar …

The leaching behavior of several sodium borosilicate glasses has been characterized using
a combination of pH stat titrations. elemental solution analyses, elemental depth profiling via …
