A study of loss of fluoride ions, when solutions of fluorides are kept or concentrated in containers of borosilicate or soft glass, showed that fluoride ions are either adsorbed on the surface of the glass or bound on the lattice.The interacted fluorine ions are partially released when the glass is treated with dilute acid solutions containing ferric ion, and are completelyreleased by dilute sodium hydroxide solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
