Equations were developed for the analysis of the thermodynamic properties of molten silicate solutions; the equations take into account the unusual concentration and temperature dependence of the solution properties of ordered systems. For binary systems, these equations were coupled with an optimization computer program to analyze all reliable thermodynamic data, including phase diagrams, free energies and enthalpies of formation of compounds, activities of components, enthalpies of mixing, entropies of fusion, miscibility gaps, etc. In this manner, we analyzed data for five binary systems: CaO-SiO/sub 2/, Na/sub 2/O-SiO/sub 2/, CaO-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/, Na/sub 2/O-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/, and Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-SiO/sub 2/. The results of the binary systems were combined, and an analysis done of three ternary systems: CaO-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-SiO/sub 2/, Na/sub 2/O-CaO-SiO/sub 2/, and Na/sub 2/O-Al/sub 2/O/sup 3/-SiO/sub 2/. A tentative analysis of the quaternary system, Na/sub 2/O-CaO-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-SiO/sub 2/, was also undertaken. 53 references, 51 figures, 3 tables.
