Advanced Melting Technology Delivers Standout Performance
Neil G. Simpson
BOC Global Technical Solutions
Convective glassmelting heat-transfer technology has been applied successfully in container-glass and CRT panel-glass manufacturing facilities.
Effect of Oxides on Decreasing Melt Viscosity and Energy Demand of E-Glass
F.T. Wallenberger, R.J. Hicks and A.T. Bierhals
Fiber Glass Science & Technology, Glass Technology Center, PPG Industries Inc., Pittsburgh
By compositional modeling, the forming temperature (viscosity) of commercial E-glass melts has been significantly decreased by decreasing percent SiO2 and increasing percent CaO, and/or by adding a flux such as Li2O. This reduces the energy use and cost, while yielding fibers that meet ASTM and user specifications.

New Technique Developed to Measure Glass Batch, Sort Cullet
Joseph C. Craparo, Arel Weisberg and Robert De Saro
Energy Research Co., Staten Island, N.Y.
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), a new laser-based technology for rapid compositional measurements of batch, real-time sorting of cullet and in-situ measurements of molten glass, has been developed to determine whether the glass batch has been formulated accurately and if the individual batch ingredients are within specifications.
