Abstract

38 samples were synthesized in the Na2O-BaO-B2O3 system, some of which were glasses, some crystallized. The degree of interaction of the initial reagents in the synthesis process was controlled by X–ray phase analysis on a DRON-3M diffractometer using CuKa radiation. Crystal phases were identified using X–ray phase analysis on a DRON-3M diffractometer using CuKa radiation and the PDF–2 powder diffractometry database. The following crystalline phases were identified in the crystallized samples: β-BaВ2O4, NaBO2, NaBaB9O15. Density, microhardness, refractive index were measured for glassy samples of the system under study and melting/liquidus temperatures were determined. It is established that the nature of the dependence of the above properties on the content of sodium oxide with a constant content of boron oxide is linear. The study of vaporization processes and thermodynamic properties of the Na2O-BaO-B2O3 system was carried out by differential high-temperature mass spectrometry on the MS–1301 mass spectrometer. The studied samples were evaporated from a twin Knudsen molybdenum effusion cell. The heating of the cell was carried out by electronic bombardment, the temperature was measured with an optical pyrometer EOP–66. It was shown that as a result of the interaction of Na2O, BaO and B2O3 oxides, sodium and barium borates are formed in the condensed phase. It is established that the studied system is characterized by selective evaporation of NaBO2 in the temperature range of 1290–1350 K. The activity values of NaBO2 and B2O3 were determined depending on the composition of the condensed phase at a temperature of 1330 K. The activity of BaB2O4 was calculated using the Gibbs-Dugem equation. The obtained values of the Gibbs mixing energies and excess Gibbs energies indicate significant deviations of the Na2O-BaO-B2O3 system from the ideal behavior.
