Using of soda obtained by hydrochemical method from nepheline raw materials in glass melting

The tests of the corrosiveness of soda from nepheline raw materials in relation to the refractory masonry of glass-making furnaces have been carried out. The basic principles of organizing the process of melting industrial glasses from charges containing such soda are considered. It was found that the use of soda does not cause any complications in glass melting and is not associated with the risk of reducing the kiln campaign. Tab. 1, ill. 1, bibliography: 6 titles.
