The literature on high-level waste glass crystallization uses three basic ways of organizing data: 1) solubilities of sparsely soluble glass components are plotted as functions of temperature; 2) liquidus temperature (TL) of glass is expressed as a function of glass composition; and 3) fractions of crystalline phases at equilibrium with molten glass are measured as a function of temperature below TL. To make the results mathematically tractable, the response functions are constructed by fitting simple mathematical expressions to data. The relationship between solubility-based and TL-based formulae is discussed.
