Abstract
The hydration of tektite glass is studied using the ^(15)N nuclear reaction technique to measure the hydrogen concentration profiles of polished and etched slices of an indochinite tektite which had been exposed to water at temperatures of 125–250 ° C for times up to 24 days. Hydrated near-surface layers with thicknesses of up to several hundred nanometers are found. Also, precipitated layers from dissolved material are observed. The growth of the hydrated layers with time and temperature shows that the hydration of tektite glass can be described as a diffusion process. An activation energy of 52 kJ/mol is derived for the temperature range 125–200 ° C. The diffusion coefficient at 200 ° C is 6 × 10^(−16) cm^2/s. The hydration results are compared with those for silicate glasses and vitreous silica.
