Solarization of colourless and coloured glasses of the type AR, BK7 and DURAN with high transmission in the UV-B region (280 to 320nm) was investigated for their use as container glasses in the solar disinfection of drinking water. The samples were coloured by doping with Ni0 or Co0. The influence of the Fe3+/Fe2+ content and of the reducing component Sn2+ was investigated on both the initial transmission of the glasses and the solarization.
