Glass formation and the capacity for sulphur incorporation have been investigated within the systems P2O5-Al2O3-Na2O-Fe2O3 and P2O5-Fe2O3-RyO (R = Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Ba, Pb). Linear relationships have been identified linking log [SO3] with the oxide ion activity, which can be represented to varying degrees by normalized cation field strength index Sigma(z/a(2)), theoretical optical basicity Lambda(th), oxygen to phosphorus molar ratio [O]/[P], or P2O5 content. When prepared under oxidizing conditions only basic, highly depolymerized phosphate glasses for which Sigma(z/a(2)) < similar to 1.2; Lambda(th) > similar to 0.5; [O]/[P] > similar to 3.8; or P2O5 content

The structure of sodium silicate glass from neutron diffraction and modeling of oxygen-oxygen correlations

Alex C. Hannon, Shuchi Vaishnav, Oliver L. G. Alderman, Paul A. Bingham

Summary: Modeling the first oxygen-oxygen peak in a glass can provide structural information about other correlations, such as the calculation of O-O coordination number from network theory and the determination of Na-O bond length distribution in a sodium silicate glass. The study also shows that sodium ions in the glass are bonded primarily to non-bridging oxygens (NBOs) and have a more widely distributed Na-O bond lengths compared to sodium silicate crystal structures.

Spectroscopic investigation of historical uranium glasses

Georges Calas, Laurence Galoisy, Myrtille O. J. Y. Hunault, Prince Rautiyal, Katrina Skerratt-Love, Jessica C. Rigby, Paul A. Bingham

Summary: This study investigates the spectroscopic properties of uranium in two historical glasses, including a green soda-lime-silica uranium glass bowl from the 1920s-1930s Art Deco period (Bagley Carnival) and a yellow full lead crystal uranium glass vase from the 1930s-1940s (Thomas Webb). The results suggest that the uranium speciation differs between the two glasses, with the Webb glass containing more reduced uranium species (U(V)) than the Bagley glass. These differences can be attributed to the fining procedure and variations in the base glass composition.

Alternative raw material research for decarbonization of UK glass manufacture

Wei Deng, Daniel J. J. Backhouse, Feroz Kabir Kazi, Ronak Janani, Chris Holcroft, Marlin Magallanes, Martyn Marshall, Caroline M. M. Jackson, Paul A. A. Bingham

Summary: This study discusses the potential routes for the glass industry to achieve net-zero in line with the current UK decarbonization policy. Biomass ash is seen as a viable alternative material for low-carbon glass production as it contains advantageous components. Simple sieving processes effectively remove impurities from biomass ash, while washing of the ashes purifies the material. The use of biomass ash in glass production has minimal impact on the color and redox state of glass.

Erhan Kilinc, Anthony M. T. Bell, Paul A. Bingham

Summary: In this study, the in situ dynamic crystallization properties of industrial soda-lime-silica glasses at realistic processing temperatures were investigated. Unique crystalline phases were observed at lower temperatures, and high-temperature stable SiO2 polymorphs were also observed. The main predictor variables in the previously developed liquidus temperature models were found to be questionable, and a large difference between glass processing and liquidus temperatures was identified.

Ronald J. Turner, Pieter Bots, Alan Richardson, Paul A. Bingham, Alex Scrimshire, Andrew Brown, Mark S'Ari, John Harrington, Susan A. Cumberland, Joanna C. Renshaw, Matthew J. Baker, Paul R. Edwards, Cerys Jenkins, Andrea Hamilton

Summary: Hydroxyapatite has potential as a cement coating material in various applications, and bacterial or chemical syntheses on Portland cement can alter critical performance parameters, primarily due to differences in the rate of solution pH change. Additionally, iron is not incorporated into the HAp structure in cement, and nanoparticulate/nanocrystalline HAp forms in the top layers of the cement pore structure.
