Abstract

Leaching studies were performed on powdered PNL 76-68 glass in de-ionized water in the presence of Mg solute. The results showed that the presence of Mg in the leachant greatly reduced the rate of glass dissolution. The equation Q=krα was used to express the experimental data. In the absence of Mg, α was about 1, i.e., the amount of glass dissolved was linear with time. In the presence of Mg, α was close to 0.5, i.e. the extracted amount was proportional to the square root of time. Therefore, the reduction of the dissolution rate of PNL 76-68 glass in the presence of Mg solute could be explained as a result of a change in the glass dissolution mechanism.

Comparative leaching studies on bulk soda-lime silicate glass in a sodium borate buffered system (pH 8.1) showed the same results. The presence of Mg in the leachant reduced the rate of glass dissolution. In the absence of Mg, α was about 1, while in the presence of Mg, α was 0.5. This change in α was not caused by changes in pH, and it represents a real change in the glass dissolution mechanism.
