Solubility of lead silicate glasses in aqueous media

Abstract

Chemicaldurability of someselected leadsilicateglasseswere investigated using hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide as the attackingsolutions. Different factors were studied such as the glass composition, concentration of the attacking solution and conditions of the immersion process. The experimental results obtained expressed in terms of the weight loss may be mainly attributed to the change of the corrosion rate with the change in the strength of the attacking solution.
