Crystallization and chemical durability of glasses in the system Bi2O3-SiO2

Description

The crystallization of the Bi2O3-SiO2-TiO2-Al2O3-Na2O-K2O and Bi2O3-SiO2-ZnO-Al2O3-B2O3-Na2O glasses was studied using glass samples prepared by traditional melt-quench method. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves suggested that surface crystallization played a major role in the crystallization of the glass samples. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the crystallization of bismuth silicate for both glasses and bismuth silicate and zinc silicate for the glass containing ZnO. Through scanning electron microscopy (MEV) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), it was possible to observe that the crystals of zinc silicate (Zn2SiO4) were readily attacked by hot 0,1 N sulfuric acid, whereas bismuth silicate crystals were more resistant to acidic attack etching.
