Abstract: Surface tension of melts in the system CaSiO₃-CaMgSi₂O₆-Ca₂MgSi₂O₇ was measured by using the max. bubble pressure method at the temps. 1400-1650°C. The surface tension decreases with the increasing content of SiO₂. The surface adsorption of SiO₂ in the ternary system CaO-MgO-SiO₂ was calcd. from the exptl. values of surface tension. The influence of cations on the value of surface adsorption and on the structure of surface layer is discussed.
