Laboratory Obsidian Hydration Rates
Christopher M. Stevenson,J. J. Mazer,Barry E. Scheetz +2 more
- 01 Jan 1998
TL;DR: In this paper, it is proposed that glass hydration is controlled primarily by the amount of intrinsic water contained within the unhydrated obsidian and that rates of hydration may be estimated once the concentration level is known.

Homogeneity of water content in obsidian from the coso volcanic field: Implications for obsidian hydration dating
TL;DR: Water content determinations on a large suite of samples from numerous prehistoric quarries within the Coso volcanic field, California, indicated that water content values, and thus hydration rate, varied significantly on a within flow basis as discussed by the authors.

Alteration of tektite to form weathering products
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between the environment in which the glass reacts and the chemical processes that control the reaction rate is reconciled through understanding the relationships between the two processes, showing that under conditions of restricted water contact, tektite reaction is dominated by water diffusion and in situ hydrolysis of the glass structure, followed by restructuring of the silicate network to form clays.

Laboratory Testing of Waste Glass Aqueous Corrosion; Effects of Experimental Parameters
William L. Ebert,J. J. Mazer +1 more
TL;DR: A literature survey has been performed to assess the effects of the temperature, glass surface area/leachate volume ratio, leachant composition, leACHant flow rate, and glass composition (actual radioactive vs simulated glass) used in laboratory tests on the measured glass reaction rate as mentioned in this paper.
The Role of Surface Layers in Glass Leaching Performance
TL;DR: The examination of reacted layers that form as glass reacts can provide insight into reaction mechanisms that control long-term glass reaction, and into processes by which radionuclides are released to solution.
