Abstract: The effect of composition on the tendency of forming BAS (barium aluminosilicate) sintered glass with compositions near the theoretical composition of
barium feldspar by sol-gel process was studied by XRD, SEM and Raman spectrum. Results indicated that, in the experimental range, larger SiO2 content and larger
BaO/Al2O3 ratio were advantageous to glass formation. Increasing BaO/Al2O3 ratio causes an increase in the amount of alumina with [AlO4] structure. The
relationship between [AlO4]/Al3+ and BaO/Al2O3 can be expressed as a linear equation. A criterion for glass formation in the studied system was established. The
criteron showed good fitness with the experimental results.

Key words: sintered glass, barium aluminosilicate, sol-gel process, criteron
