Abstract

A study was conducted on the influence of B2O3 on the viscosity of haplogranatic liquids. A nonlinear decrease of viscosity was observed in haplogranite liquids with the introduction of B2O3. The liquids were subjected to a temperature interval of 600 to 1,600 degrees Celsius. The temperature dependence of the viscosity of the liquids tested was found to be Arrhenian. The results show that boron must be treated as a fluxing agent in boron-rich and pegmatitic systems.
