Abstract

Abstract A process for preparing aluminosilicate glass comprising from 30 to 60 molar % of SiO2, from 20 to 35 molar % of Al2O3 and from 10 to 30 molar % of a total of rare earth oxides composed mainly of Y2O3, wherein an yttrium concentrate is used as the rare earth oxides composed mainly of Y2O3, and ZrO2 not in excess of 8 molar % to improve alkali resistance.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 76 words
An aluminosilicate glass consisting of 30 to 60 molar % of SiO 2 , 20 to 35 molar % of Al 2 O 3 , 10 to 30 molar % of an yttrium concentrate composed essentially of Y 2 O 3 and the rare earth oxides present in a crude ore of Y 2 O 3 , the concentrate being composed mainly of Y 2 O 3 , and 5-8 molar % of ZrO 2 .
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 76 words
An aluminosilicate glass consisting of 30 to 60 molar % of SiO 2 , 20 to 35 molar % of Al 2 O 3 , 10 to 30 molar % of an yttrium concentrate composed essentially of Y 2 O 3 and the rare earth oxides present in a crude ore of Y 2 O 3 , the concentrate being composed mainly of Y 2 O 3 , and 5-8 molar % of ZrO 2 .
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 117 words
An aluminosilicate glass consisting of 30 to 60 molar % of SiO 2 , 30 to 35 molar % of Al 2 O 3 , 10 to 30 molar % of an yttrium concentrate composed essentially of Y 2 O 3 and the rare earth oxides present in a crude ore of Y 2 O 3 , the concentrate being composed mainly of Y 2 O 3 and an effective amount, not to exceed 8 molar %, of ZrO 2 for improving the chemical resistance of the glass in powder form, over a same glass absent ZrO 2 , when maintained in an aqueous solution of 2N NaOH at 95° C. for a period of 10 days.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 117 words
