Abstract
High-temperature Raman spectroscopy was applied to study model silicate melts in the M2O-SiO2 system, where M = K, Na, or Li. Structural units of the melts and equilibrium constants of reactions between them are determined. Thermodynamic calculations were conducted for the dependence of the Qn distribution on the composition and temperature, and the results of thermodynamic simulations were demonstrated to be consistent with the experimental results.
