✦ Synopsis
The phase analysis of cryolite (Na 3 AlF 6 ) and sodium metasilicate (Na 2 SiO 3 ) was performed by thermal analysis. The eutectic system with a region of two immiscible substances at a concentration of Na 2 SiO 3 between 42.8 and 46.3 mol-% was identified and the eutectic temperature determined to (886 AE 2) 8C. Based on the results of mass-loss measurements, it was assumed that the introduced Na 2 SiO 3 reacts with Na 3 AlF 6 due to the formation of some nonvolatile stable compounds. The stable reaction products were identified by X-ray diffraction analysis and IR spectroscopy of the spontaneously cooled samples, which established the formation of NaF and stable amorphous aluminosilicate compounds.
