Eva,
I have never used this material, so consider that
in this reply.
It would seem to me the chlorine would have the
same effect as if you were using table salt (NaCl).
The chlorine will be turned into gas in the firing.
It's corrosive, and outside the kiln the chlorine will
react, so you want to vent your kiln well and avoid
the fumes, just as you would with any firing in any
kiln.
The chlorine should have no effect on the glaze
itself.
Of course, you will test the material to see how
it performs for you, before actually glazing some
ware, just as with any new material.
I really like your plan to make people something
from a material that will be meaningful to them. What
fun for you and them!
Good potting,
Dave Finkelnburg

Hello, perhaps someone here would have some information about the above.
I will be getting some sodalite (Na8 Al6 Si6 O24 Chlorine6) and would =
like to use it as a flux in a glaze. The % composition is almost similar =
to nepheline syenite except for the chlorine. It will have been =
pulverized and I will be ball milling it further. I am just worried =
about the chlorine in the mineral. Using approximately 30% sodalite in a =
glaze will that create a problem?
Our son is an exploration geologist and one of their "hot"properties has =
this stuff on it. I would like to make some mugs glazed in it for the =
crew so it would just be a one time thing.

I was once temporarily blinded when the chlorine in a swimming pool
somehow mixed with a residue of polyester resin dust in my eyes from
having done a lot of tool and die grinding.
Find out more, but I'd be very careful around any chlorine gas.
Wikipedia article tells how it was used as a chemical weapon in WWI:
"Chlorine gas, also known as bertholite, was first used as a weapon
against humans in World War I." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine

Hello David,
by analogy with the role of fluorine as a strong
melter in glazes,
such as in Lepidolite, would another halogen such
as chlorine be
able to play an anologous role?
It appears that the melting role of fluorine in
fluorine-containing
compounds such as Lepidolite comes from the
formation of
compounds with some of the metallic oxides of the
glaze
such as Na, K, etc.

Hello Eva,
yes fluorine is volatile and represents 6% of the
weight of Lepidolite,
too much Lepidolite in a glaze may cause blisters
and craters.

Hello Edouard,
Is fluorine volatile? or at least as much as
chlorine? - I expect that the
chlorine will start to volatize well before the
glazes are fully melted and
so would not be taken up into a compound as much.
I will be firing to cone
10 in gas.
