Benefits of vitrafine™ in the Glass Batch
- The use of a slag additive in the glass batch was introduced several decades ago. As a pre-
calcined source of SiO2 and CaO for the glass manufacturer, use of vitrafine™ proves to be more effective over carbon/sulfate systems particularly at high furnace pull rates or high cullet levels. - vitrafine™ reduces the salt cake levels and therefore the SOx emission concerns are lessened by formulating equivalent redox batches.
- vitrafine™ further decreases energy consumption that improves melting and fining times potentially reducing NOx, SOx and further emission issues.
- The concerns in vitrafine™ of fused grain alumina and silicon carbide particles in the product are addressed with the immediate water quenching involvement of the granulation process.
- The turbulence in the process and immediate solidification of the different elements in the slag tend to provide a unique separation of the slag and contaminants which later can be separated by size or specialized magnet equipment.
- Use of vitrafine™ qualifies for US Building Council LEED Credits
