Patent 4193954: Beta alumina manufacture (6740 words)
When sodium nitrate was used as the sole source of Na.sub.2 O in initial tests, the spray dried powder tended to pack together and would not flow.
This problem was solved by utilizing a combination of sodium carbonate and sodium nitrate as the source of Na.sub.2 O. It is reasonable to expect, however, that sodium nitrate could be used as the sole source of Na.sub.2 O with satisfactory results by variation in slurry composition.
Lithium nitrate is an example of a preferred optional stabilizing salt.
