<p>This thesis is concerned with the measurement and interpretation of electrical conductivity in molten silicates. Physicochemical properties and structural models of silica and silicates are reviewed first, to give a general picture of their behaviour. Electrical conductivity was measured as a function of temperature, pressure and water composition. To make these measurements an internally heated pressure vessel, designed to operate at temperatures up to 1200 degrees C and pressures up to 5 kbars was constructed. Conductivity measurements were made on the following anhydrous and hydrous silicate melts: SiO2/Na2O 60/40, 65/35, 75/25, 78/22 mol%; SiO2/Na2O/CaO 72/24/4 mol%; Mt. Erebus lava; SiO2/Na2O 78/22 mol% + ~5 wt% H2O and Mt. Erebus lava + ~4 wt% H2O in the temperature range 850-1000 degrees C and the pressure range 0-1.3 kbar. Arrhenius temperature and pressure dependencies on conductivity were observed. The pressure coefficient of conductivity was zero for the anhydrous melts well above Tg but small and positive for the hydrous silicates. Water caused ~40% reduction in conductivity when added to a melt which was accounted for in terms of the mixed alkali effect. Conductivity isobars for the hydrous silicates passed through a maximum as a function of increasing temperature. The conductivity behaviour as a function of temperature and pressure is analogous to that observed in partially ionised liquids and is intrepretated in an identical way. The range of operation of a piezoelectric alpha-quartz crystal viscometer was extended to allow measurement of viscosity as a function of temperature.</p>

Density, electrical conductivity, and fluidity of 0.2[xKNO3 + (1 − x)NaNO3] + 0.8glycerol systems were measured as functions of temperature (363.15 to428.15 K) and composition (0.0to 1.0 mole fraction). Densities were linear functions of temperature. The temperature dependence of conductivity and fluidity has been analysed by using the Vogel–Tammann–Fulcher (VTF) equation. Deviation from additivity has been observed in the electrical conductivity, fluidity isotherms to a lesser extent, and in electrical conductivity under isofluidity condition. The onset of the mixed alkali effect (MAE) in the present system has been explained by the anion polarization model.

The electrical conductivities, viscosities and molar volumes of the 0·3[xKNO3+(1 – x)NaNO3]+ 0·7Cd(NO3)2.4·4H2O systems were measured as functions of temperature (293·15 ≤ T/K ≤ 363·15) and composition (x = 0·0 to 1·0 mole fraction). The temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity and viscosity was non-Arrhenius in nature and has been analysed by using the Vogel–Tammann–Fulcher (VTF) equation. Both conductivity and viscosity vary non-linearly with the molar volume and have been explained by using VTF-type equations based on the free volume model. In the present system the molar volume and the intrinsic volume are additive. A significant mixed alkali effect has been observed in the normalized electrical conductivity and viscosity and in the electrical conductivity at the isofluidity condition. The variation of the electrical conductivity is governed by the mobility of the potassium ions. The onset of the mixed alkali effect has been explained by the anion polarization model.
