Abstract

Our recently developed model to describe the viscosity of silicate melts is extended to describe and predict the viscosities of alkali-rich silicate melts. The model requires one additional binary parameter for each M2O–SiO2 system, where M is an alkali metal, to a total of three binary parameters per binary system alkali oxide – silica. In addition to unary and binary parameters, the model requires two ternary parameters for each alumina-containing ternary system MOx–Al2O3 –SiO2, where MOx is a basic oxide, to describe the viscosity maxima in these ternary systems due to the Charge Compensation Effect. The viscosity of multicomponent melts and of ternary melts MOx–NOy–SiO2, where MOx and NOy are basic oxides, is predicted by the model solely from the unary, binary and ternary parameters. The available viscosity data for the alkali-containing subsystems of the Al2O3–CaO–MgO–Na2O–K2O–SiO2 system are reviewed. The model reproduces the experimental data for binary and ternary melts and predicts the viscosities of multicomponent melts within experimental error limits. In particular, the viscosities of glass melts and melts of importance for petrology are well predicted by the model.

Keywords: Viscosity; Thermodynamic modeling; Silicates; Glass Melts; Magmas
