Reactive Surface of Glass Particles Under Aqueous Corrosion
Résumé
Glass dissolution rates are normalized to the glass surface area in contact with solution, and experiments are very often carried out using crushed and sieved materials whose size is narrowed between an upper and a lower value. Surface area of such particles could be determined by gas adsorption or geometric considerations. Although crushed particles cannot be assimilated with simple geometric shapes, rates normalized with—spheres of the same size—geometric surface area are underestimated but are close to those found for polished monoliths. Overestimation of the reactive surface when using gas adsorption measurements is discussed.
