Silicate melt inclusions are obviously different from daughter minerals bearing fluid inclusions and "salt melt" inclusions in respect of homogenization temperatures and the compositions.

Salt is almost always treated with additives (magnesium carbonate, magnesium oxide, calcium silicate) to prevent it from absorbing moisture and ensure that it remains free flowing and granular.

The soluble salt modified sodium silicate has been studied. It compares the principles and technology of Ca and Al salts modification and identifies the Al salt modification technical process.
