Abstract: The corroding process of six glasses of the Na2O-K2O-CaO-ZrO2-SiO2 system with ZrO2content 0–2.13 mass % by water was observed during static tests at 121°C and pressure of 0.25 MPa in steam sterilizer. Significant increase of Na+ and K+ content in leachates was observed after the addition of ZrO2 into glass. Further increase of the content of ZrO2 in glasses slowed down the rate of Na+ and K+ leaching. The leaching process of SiO2 as well as Na+, K+, and Ca2+ ions was evaluated on the basis of comparison with model leaching processes. Variation of the concentrations of Na+, K+, Ca2+, and SiO2 in leachates with time was described by empirical equation. Observed changes in the initial leaching rates of Na+, K+, Ca2+, and SiO2 can be ascribed to the content of ZrO2 in glasses. The presence of ZrO2 in glasses reduced the overall rate of glass dissolution.

Keywords: glass corrosion/solubility - ZrO2 - leaching rate - static test
