Reaction equilibrium constants for the sulfate decomposition process, which releases oxygen and sulfur oxide gas in soda–lime–silica glass melts, have been determined. The chemical solubility of SO2, probably in the form of sulfite ions in soda–lime–silica melts, has also been determined. The chemical solubility value of SO2, dissolving as sulfite, ranges between 0.02 and 0.06 wt% SO32− at 1 bar SO2 pressure in the temperature range of 1600–1800 K. Results of square-wave-voltammetry studies and measurements of the temperature-dependent sulfur retention after the fining process of commercial float glass melts and a model soda–lime–silica melt, with 74 wt% SiO2, 16 wt% Na2O, and 10 wt% CaO, are presented. The measured sulfur retention data and the results of the square-wave-voltammetry studies are used to determine the equilibrium constant of the sulfate decomposition reaction in the temperature range of 1600–1800 K. The thermodynamic relations and properties found for sulfate decomposition are used to derive activities of sodium oxide in soda–lime–silica melts. Literature values for sodium oxide activities in these glass melts are rare. In this study, these activities have been determined by a method, based on the measurement of sulfate decomposition equilibrium constants and the residual sulfate concentrations in glass melts, equilibrated with almost pure sodium sulfate galls.
