Abstract

In the present paper, the tracer diffusivity of Si31 was measured in CaO-SiO2 melts at 1600°C. The Si31 isotope was produced by neutron bombardment in a nuclear reactor, and the capillary technique was used in the diffusion experiments. The diffusivities obtained, decrease with increasing silica content, and are lower by approximately one order of magnitude than the diffusivity of Ca45 determined previously.
