Abstract
WE have been interested in the effect of sodium fluoride and calcium fluoride on molten silicates and phosphates, and the principal reactions are being investigated using kinetic and infra-red techniques. We have also been interested in the elimination of water from the melts by the fluorides and have used a proton magnetic resonance technique for studying the elimination. The infra-red technique has recently been used to investigate water elimination from silicate-glasses1, but it would be difficult to obtain results using the same technique for glasses containing phosphate since these pick up water to a great extent and very quickly.
