Leaching Behavior of Microtektite Glass Compositions in Sea Water and the Effect of Precipitation on Glass Leaching

By: Nasa, National Aeronautics and Space Adm

The present study attempts to account for the slow corrosion rates of microtektite glass in nature by comparing the leach rates of synthetic microtektite glass samples in deionized water and in sea-water, respectively. In order to obtain systematic data about leachant composition effects, leach tests were also carried out with synthetic leachant compositions enriched with respect to silica or depleted with respect to certain major components of sea-water (Mg, Ca).
