Data for glass sintering during dehydration (loss of water recorded by mass loss)

This dataset contains experimental data supporting Vasseur et al. (2023) https://doi.org/10.1111/jace.19120, which investigates the process of glass sintering during dehydration. The experiments were conducted in 2022 at LMU (Munich, Germany) . The samples were synthetic and so were not collected at any given site but were created in the laboratory. For each experiment presented, a sample of glass powder was hydrated by exposing it to a hydrous (H2O) atmosphere at high temperature (600-700 C) for a number of hours. The glass particles were then hydrated, and this fact was checked by looking for a relative mass loss if the same powder was returned to high temperature but under a non-hydrous atmosphere; indeed, mass loss occurred as the water left the particles again. That mass loss was measured and the kinetics of mass loss were analysed. The data demonstrate that there is a quantifiable competition between the rate at which water will move into or out of particles and the rate at which particles will sinter together. This same competition is relevant to volcanic eruptions and has knock-on implications for the evolution of permeability of magmas, which is a prominent area of study for this grant. These data were collected by F. Wadsworth, analysed by J. Vasseur, and the paper was both facilitated by and written by Y. Lavallée and D. B. Dingwell. All authors were responsible for the output of the data.

Statement
Glass beads were hydrated using a so-called gas-ash reactor - a silica glass tube that sits inside a furnace while liquid water is added continuously. At high temperature the liquid water flashes to steam and surrounds the glass beads. The glass beads diffusively dissolve the water, hydrating them. In a second step, the hydrated glass beads were loaded into a Netzsch simultaneous thermal analyser and their mass was measured while heating them to >1000 C temperature in a dry argon atmosphere. The water that had previously diffused into the glass beads now diffusively leaves the glass beads and that process is measured by measuring the mass loss.
