    The batch is fed into a furnace and heated to temperatures between 15000C – 15500C, where the ingredients melt and chemical reactions take place over 24 hours to form molten glass. Sodium carbonate and other materials are added to lower the melting point of silica, the main component of sand, by around 200 degrees Celsius from its melting point of 1700 degrees Celsius, making the melting process more practical and economical.

    BATCH MELTING

    The batch is then fed into the furnace where it is heated to


    temperatures ranging from 15000C 15500C.
    At this temperature range, the ingredients melt and various chemical
    reactions take place during this step where CO2 and SO3 are evolved. It
    takes about 24 hours for the batch to be converted into molten glass.
    The addition of Na2CO3 and other materials to the main component
    (SiO2) of sand lowers its melting point by about 200 0C. The melting
    point of silica is 1700 0C. This is done for practical and economic
    reasons.
