Dd. Badujukov et Tl. Petrova, MODIFICATION OF CHEMICAL-COMPOSITION OF A LBITE, JADEITE AND PYREX GLASS SUBJECTED TO SHOCK LOADING, Geohimia, (6), 1994, pp. 781-788
Impact melts of albite jadeite and pyrex glass subjected to shock expe
riments demonstrate the losses of Na and Al relative to Si. This could
be explained by selective vaporization. It is suggested that the high
volatility of Al is related to the formation of NaAlO2 compound. The
similar loss of Al and Na is assumed as one of tektite formation proce
sses.
