The role of redox reactions due to refining agents in the glass refining process was examined. A new approximate model for shrinkage (or growth) of gas bubbles in glass melts in which redox reactions caused by refining agents has been developed. It was found that the shrinkage (or growth) of gas bubbles in melts with refining agents is faster than that in those without refining agents.
