Effects Of Particle Size And Briquetting Of Soda-Lime-Silicate Glass Batch On Viscosity During Batch-To-Melt Conversion

To assess the effects of grain size and briquetting on glass-batch melting, the viscosity (nb) of an industrial glass batch during its conversion to molten simulated architectural glass within the temperature interval 1050-1300 deg C at a shear rate of 0.02s-1 was measured. Owing to their lower viscosities and higher heat conductivities, batches from finer raw materials or batches shaped into briquettes are expected to enhance the melting rate of batch blankets in industrial glass-melting furnaces.
