Abstract: | ![]() The Influence of Temperature and Impurities Addition on the Properties and the Constitution of Sodium Water Glass Solutions Sodium water glass (NaWG-)solutions of constant composition (SiO2/Na2O = 3,3; CSiO2 = 6,2 M) and different concentration of impurities (Fe, Al, Ti, Cu, chloride, sulfate) were investigated in dependence on temperature by means of the dye absorption method, 1H- and 23Na-NMR spectroscopy. It is shown, that the differences in the dye absorption spectra of normalized technical NaWG-solutions, mainly depend on the Fe-concentration in the solutions and their thermal history. From the results follow a crosslinking of polymeric silicate species by Fe? O? Si bonds and/or hydrogen bridges and a fully or partially degradation of these bonds at higher temperatures (150°C). |
