-015Chemistry of Simple Ceramic Glazes. Part 3. A MASNMR Study of Simulated Feldspars and Their Reactions with CaO, SrO, BaO, or Li2O on Heating to 1300 • C. -As shown by 29Si, 27Al, and 23Na MASNMR spectroscopy, additions of CaO, SrO, BaO, or Li2O to synthetic albite glass (Na2O)(Al2O3)(SiO2)6 induce more ordering of the "SiO4", "AlO4" tetrahedra in the glass when present in greater (CaO ¿ 60 mol% relative to SiO2) or lesser ( Li2O ¿ 30 mol%) proportions. Addition of CaO in ¿ 80 mol% proportions encourages the crystallization of calcium silicate phases with concurrent formation of, essentially, sodium aluminate phases, whereas similar additions of SrO and BaO stabilize the glass phase. The 27Al MASNMR data also reveal that even low additions of CaO, SrO, and BaO cause Al to occupy an "AlO6" environment, while no octahedral Al is seen in the presence of Li2O. The apparent 23Na chemical shift generally moves to lower field with increasing proportion of "AlO4" in the glass. -(MANDAIR, A.-P. S.; MCWHINNIE, W. R.; Polyhedron 10 (1991) 1, 55-60; Dep. Chem.
