Figure 7.9A shows the NaAlSi04-Si02 (nepheline-silica) system, after Schairer and Bowen (1956). Let us first examine the Si02-rich side of the join. At P = 1 bar, the pure component Si02 crystallizes in the cristobalite form (Cr) at r = 1713 °C (cf figure 2.6). At P = 1470 °C, there is a phase transition to tridymite (Tr), which does not appreciably affect the form of the liquidus curve, which reaches the eutectic point at P = 1062 °C.

A relation was developed in Figure 19 for effect of the hydroxyl to epoxy ratio on the initial rate of reaction. As the hydroxyl concentration rises, the initial rate of reaction increases this would probably hold true until dilution effects dominate. Similar relations have been developed by Bowen and Whiteside (29). It should be further noted that this curve represents isopropyl alcohol as the hydroxyl source. The slope would shift for other alcohols depending on their reactivity.
