In previous studies, we have presented a STRUCTON computer program designed for statistical simulations of molecular-size distribution of Si-anions in polymerized silicate melts (Polyakov, Ariskin, 2008). The INPUT file of this model includes proportions of five Qn- structons– “SiO4-groups” (0 ≤ n ≤ 4, Q0 corresponds to the SiO44- ion) which are distinguished by the number of bridging oxygen. A system of OUTPUT files includes statistical characteristics for the modeled ensembles of the chain, branched, and ring complexes corresponding to a general formula (SiiO3i+1-j)2(i+1-j)-, where i is the size of an anion, j is the number of the ring bonds. First calculations were conducted for the compositions ranging from ortho- to metasilicates based on a random distribution of Qn-structons suggesting an equal reactivity of various atoms of non-bridging oxygen. According to our calculations, the number of polymerized anion species varies from 3 (SiO44-, Si2O76-, Si3O108-) in Na4SiO4 composition to 153 in metasilicate, whereas the average size of polymer species varies from 1 to 7.2 (Ariskin, Polyakov, 2008). Further development of the model accounts for the non-equal reactivity of Qn-species which are known to disproportionate in silicate melts and glasses due to three structure-based reactions:

Qn-1 + Qn+1 = 2Qn ,љ

kn=[Qn]2/{[Qn-1][Qn+1]} (1 ≤ n ≤ 3). (1)

These reactions cause fractions of Q1, Q2 and Q3-structons to increase with respect to fractions of “end-member” Q0- andљ Q4-structons, The distribution of Qn-structons observed from Raman and NMR spectroscopy is never coincides with the random distribution for a given melt composition (Mysen, Richet, 2005) Such deviation of the real Q4-structon distribution fromљ the random one affects the distribution of polymer species and should be taken into account in correct models. For this purpose, a special subroutine of the STRUCTON program was developed. It calculates the distributionљ of Qn-structons for a given composition using values of constants of the disproportionation reactions (1). The spectroscopic data on these constants were rationalized using the following Arrhenius temperature dependence:

, (2)
where
sn is the entropic factors; H is the enthalpy; n = 1,2,3; and R and T have a common meaning. s1 = s3 = 8/3 and s2 = 9/4 are the same for silicate systems in our model, whereas the enthalpy depends on a cation type. The realistic distribution of Qn-structons calculated using the disproportination constants (2) is used as an INPUT information for the STRUCTON model. This allows one to estimate distribution of (SiiO3i+1-j)2(i+1-j)- species more correctly than in the the scope of the random model. Since the random distribution of Qn-structons corresponds to infinite temperature in (2), one can conclude that accounting for the disproportionation reactions provides evaluations of the effect of temperature on the distribution of anion polymer species in the melt.

As an example, we have carried out a set of testing calculations for the Na2O-SiO2 system in the range of 33.3-50.0 mol% of SiO2. Results of these calculations along the liquidus of the binary system have demonstrated a systematic decrease in the proportion of Q0-species with respect to that following from stochastic modeling. Na6Si2O7 (40 mol% SiO2) and Na2SiO3 (50 mol% SiO2) melts are enriched in Q1- and Q2-structons, respectively (see Shildt et al., 2009). This results in the predominance of Si2O76- dimers in the Na6Si2O7 melt and “flat” rings SinO3n2n-(Si3O96-, Si4O128-, Si5O1510-, etc.) in the Na2SiO3 melt. Such predominance of stoichiometric polymeric compounds in the melts follows directly from our modeling.
