The Nucleation of Albite Crystals in Natural Volcanic Obsidian Glass
Source abstract
Abstract
The nucleation of crystals in natural obsidian volcanic glass has been studied. It is shown that the main crystalline phase in obsidian volcanic glass is albite Na[AlSi3O8], which is included in the class of feldspars. It is one of the main components of rock-forming minerals of great technical importance in ceramics technology. The fundamental characteristics of homogeneous nucleation of albite such as the steady state nucleation rate Ist, time of unsteady state nucleation τ and activation energy of frictional flow have been determined. The temperature dependence of Ist is obtained. Practical recommendations are presented for the use of obsidian volcanic glass.
