Testing the Grambow glass dissolution model by comparing it with Monte Carlo simulation results

    Research outputpeer-review

    Abstract

    A Monte Carlo (MC) model for glass dissolution is compared to the Grambow model, which has been the main glass dissolution model during the last decade. The MC model uses similar parameters to those used in the Grambow model; however, it is microscopic while the Grambow model is macroscopic. This assures that parameter values of the MC model are time-independent and allows changes in the gel structure to be described. The basic assumptions of the Grambow model show good consistency with the MC model.
