Abstract
Three composition joins in the Na2O–B2O3–SiO2system at constant Na2O contents of 5, 10, and 15 mol % are studied by the high-temperature method of determining oxygen ion exponents pO for oxide melts. It is found that the basicity of melts increases in going from the binary sodium borate system to the sodium silicate system. The acid–base properties of ternary melts are simulated under the assumption that their basicity is determined by the interaction in pseudobinary systems. It is shown that the basicity of the studied melts is governed, to a large extent, by the formation of the Na2O · B2O3· 2SiO2ternary compound.
