  Oxide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oxides are characterized by a redistribution of electrons, in which the oxygen atoms have a net surplus of electrons and the other atoms a net lack.
Oxides of metals occur as ionic compounds, or salts, which are solid at room temperature.
The oxides of the chemical elements in their highest oxidation state are predictable and the chemical formula can be derived from the number of valence electrons for that element.

In the reaction between potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide (strong base) and carbon acid (weak acid), potassium carbonate (sodium carbonate) and water are formed.
In the subsequent reaction between potassium carbonate (sodium carbonate) and calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate and potassium hydroxide (sodium hydroxide) are formed.
Sodium and potassium carbonate are transferred to sulphates and nitrates, respectively, followed by the reaction with calcium hydroxide.

 Sodium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Sodium, Na, is a Alkali Metal element, found in Group Ia of the periodic table.
Sodium metal is highly reactive and tarnished readily in air due to the formation of a layer of Sodium Oxide on the surface of the metal.
Sodium is detected in its compounds by the bright yellow colouration which it imparts to flames when burned and by spectroscopic methods.

Sodium doesn’t react with nitrogen, not even at very high temperatures, but it can react with ammonia to form sodium amide.
Sodium in its metallic form is an essential component in the making of esters and in the manufacture of organic compounds.
Sodium salts are found in seawater (1.05%), salty lakes, alkaline lakes and mineral spring water.

We have found that when sodium nitrate (or potassium nitrate) used routinely in the glass industry to provide oxidising conditions to the glass melt is used in the batch, sodium sulphate (a fining agent) must be lowered which may adversely affect the fining action of sodium sulphate.
Manganese oxide, which we believe aids in adjusting the oxidation state of iron oxide in the glass, also allows the use of anthracite coal to enhance the decomposition of sodium sulphate and improving the fining (removal of gaseous inclusions) characteristics of the glass batch.
In theory, increasing manganese oxide will cause the iron oxide equilibrium in the melt to shift toward the oxidised form of the iron while the reductant reacts with the sodium sulphate to decompose into sodium oxide that becomes a part of the glass and sulphur trioxide that provides the fining action at lower temperatures.

Calcium oxide, barium oxide and strontium oxide all behave similarly in glasses and all of these oxides are suitable additives for the core glass of the fibre according to the invention.
Other oxides may be added to the glasses according to the invention, up to a total of about 5 mole percent, the only limitation on these additives being that they should not cause substantial worsening of the optical properties, for example, absorption loss of the glass.

A method is described for removing sodium oxide from a fluent stream of liquid sodium by coldtrapping the sodium oxide.
Sodium will remain in a molten state at temperatures below that at which sodium oxide will crystallize out and form solid deposits, therefore, the contaminated stream of sodium is cooled to a temperature at which the solubility of sodium oxide in sodium is substantially decreased.
The stream is kept in contact with the wool until the sodium oxide is removed by crystal growth on the wool, then the stream is reheated and returned to the system.

In most commercial silicate glasses, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, sodium oxide, and potassium oxide are important tools for adjusting formulations to the desired viscosity, while aluminum oxide is commonly used to enhance glass durability.
Boric oxide, sodium oxide, and calcium oxide are all about equally effective at lowering high temperature viscosity when substituted for silica, while aluminum oxide is not effective.
Boric oxide substitutions for silica are the only ones that have all the required properties, simultaneously decreasing high temperature viscosity, lowering liquidus temperature, increasing moisture resistance, and reducing surface tension.

In another embodiment, the instant invention is a method for the production of platy sodium octasilicate, comprising the step of: heating a liquid aqueous colloidal silica dispersion containing silica, sodium oxide, and water, the mole ratio of the silica to the sodium oxide being in the range of from about 3.5 to about 10.
In the broad scope of the instant invention, the mole ratio of sodium hydroxide to silica and a mole ratio of water to silica must be effective to produce a synthetic magadiite wherein more than fifty percent by weight of the synthetic magadiite is platy synthetic magadiite.
When the portion of the sodium ions of the synthetic platy magadiite of the instant invention is ninety percent or more and such acidified synthetic platy magadiite (or perhaps more accurately platy silica) is heated sufficiently to drive off water, then the acidified synthetic platy magadiite is converted into quartz-like silica plates.

 Process of preparing zirconium oxide-containing ceramic formed bodies - Patent 5326519   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Precisely in the case of the aluminium oxide side phase, which preferably consists of the.beta."-crystal form, the zirconium/zirconium oxide addition has proved to be very advantageous for the formation of a fine, glass phase-free grain structure which makes this solid body electrolyte ceramic much firmer in comparison with conventionally produced.beta./.beta."-aluminium oxide.
C., the metallic components of the green body react partly with the oxygen of the atmosphere and partly with the oxides contained in the mixture itself, with an increase of the volume which compensates for the shrinkage in the case of the sintering and thereby results in a high density and low porosity.
In one variant, 9% by weight sodium carbonate was replaced by 9% by weight of a mixture of sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate (Alfa Prod.) in a mole ratio of 0.7:0.3.

When sodium oxide (Na2O) is added to the glass composition, two significant changes can occur to the structure displayed in Figure 3.
In the first, oxygen from the sodium oxide converts some of the BO3 units into BO4 units, where the boron atom is linked to four oxygen atoms, and forms a tetrahedron (Figure 4).
It has shown that the sodium oxide content is used exclusively for the formation of BO4 units until it exceeds a certain threshold value.
