Glass order ranges

The sorption capacity of foamed glass products ranges from 6.7 for ketones such as methyl isobutyl ketone to 15.2 for nitric acid. Therefore the sorption capacity of foamed glass is very good, and the foamed glass is one of the best materials for spiU remediation. It is also available in several forms besides a particulate, such as pillows, dikes, and booms. However, this material is more expensive, approximately 3.00/lb for the particulate form and 3.20-4.40/lb for pillows, depending upon supplier and quantity ordered. 

Based on the undercooling theory resulting from the existence of multicomponent chemical short-range order (CSRO) domains, the glass forming range (GFR) in Zr-Ni-Ti alloy system was predicted by thermodynamic calculation. The GFR predicted by the thermodynamic calculation is consistent with the experiment results (Liu, et al. 2008). 

Fig. 19. Plot of the Gabay-Toulouse (GT) line (solid line) for an infinite-range vector-spin glass (eq, 27). The low-temperature phase (SG) has nonzero transverse spin-glass ordering. The deAlmeida-Thouless (AT) line (dashed line) strictly no longer occurs but there is a well-defined crossover region which follows a similar curve.

Fig. 20. Magnetic phase diagram for an infinite-range vector-spin glass with nonzero mean, in the exchange distribution. P = paramagnet FM = ferromagnet SG = spin glass. The mixed phase F where ferromagnetism coexists with transverse spin-glass order is separated from FM by a GT line (solid line). The dashed line indicates a crossover region as in fig. 19.

Fig. 21. Magnetic phase diagram for an infinite-range veetor spin glass with uniaxial anisotropy D (Cragg and Sherrington 1982b, Roberts and Bray, 1982). Longitudinal (L) and transverse (T) spin-glass order occurs as well as both together (L -I- T).

Finally, systems where long-range periodic (FM, AFM) and spin-glass orderings compete exhibit, magnetic properties which obviously are not in accordance with present theories (fig. 18 and 20). In sec. 8 we made a first attempt to classify the large amount of experimental data on this subject which now needs confirmation by theoretical work beyond the SK-mean-field theory.
