Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a float glass production method and a float glass production apparatus.
Background
In the production of a glass sheet by the float process, a molten glass substrate (ground) is supplied from a glass melting furnace to a molten tin bath called a float furnace, a glass ribbon is formed on the molten tin bath, and then the glass ribbon is conveyed by conveying rolls called lift rolls and transferred to a slow cooling furnace. Generally, a defect called dross (ドロス) (tin and tin oxide) adheres to the lower surface of the glass ribbon.
In thin plate glass of less than 1.1mm used for flat panel display applications such as liquid crystal, even if the size of dross (tin and tin oxide) adhering to the surface of the glass plate is about 10 μm, the dross becomes defective according to the customer's request, and therefore even the dross defect of a size acceptable for general architectural use needs to be removed.
In patent document 1, a plate-shaped carbon removal member containing carbon, called a carbon wiper sheet (カーボンシール), is brought into contact with the lower portion of the lift roller to scrape off and remove tin or tin oxide adhering to the lift roller.
In a liquid crystal thin glass sheet produced by the float process, in order to satisfy the flatness required by customers, the lower surface of the glass sheet is polished, and therefore, dross is removed at the same time. In recent years, by taking measures for improving flatness in the melting/molding step, the amount of polishing of the glass plate in the polishing step is reduced, and productivity in the polishing step is improved.

In addition, fluorine (F) may be used in addition to chlorine-containing gas2) Bromine (Br)2) Hydrogen Fluoride (HF), hydrogen bromide (HBr) or Hydrogen Iodide (HI) as the halogen-containing gas.
In the foreign matter removal step of the present embodiment, the halogen-containing gas may be sprayed as a single gas or a mixed gas of two or more kinds onto the bottom surface 5a of the glass ribbon 5, but from the viewpoint of preventing corrosion of the equipment such as the supply ports 21, 31 for spraying these gases, it is preferable to use an inert gas such as nitrogen gas or a rare gas as a carrier gas and spray the inert gas as a mixed gas with these carrier gases.
In addition, hydrogen (H) is added2) When the reducing gas is added to the halogen-containing gas, the halogen-containing gas and the reducing gas may be sprayed from separate supply ports (not shown), or the two gases may be mixed in advance and sprayed from the same supply ports 21 and 31 as a mixed gas.
In the case where two kinds of gases are sprayed from the respective supply ports, the reducing gas may be sprayed on the upstream side of the halogen-containing gas in the moving direction of the glass ribbon 5, or the two kinds of gases may be sprayed at the same position.

Float glass (manufactured by Asahi glass company: AN100) produced by slowly cooling and cutting a glass ribbon 5 was cut into 50mm squares to obtain 7 glass sheets, and 1 dross was present on the tin contact surface for each 1 glass sheet.
Next, a polishing pad made of foamed polyurethane (D hardness: 30 degrees) and cerium oxide as a polishing agent were used, and a predetermined polishing load (50 g/cm) was applied by a 4B single-side polishing machine2) The gas-treated surface was subjected to chemical mechanical polishing so that the polishing amount was 0.5 μm on average. Dregs of 6 glass plates out of 7 glass plates were removed. The rate of residue remaining in the glass sheet after the chemical mechanical polishing was 14%.
In examples 42 to 49, the hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas concentration or the hydrogen gas (H) gas concentration was changed as shown in Table 4 in the same evaluation method as in example 412) The condition of concentration. Examples 42,43. 46, 47, 49, nitrogen (N) was used2) As a carrier gas.
Table 4 shows the evaluation results of examples 41 to 49, examples 41 to 48 being examples and example 49 being comparative examples. It can be confirmed that: if hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas of 0.5 vol% or more is used, the dross residual rate is reduced. In addition, it was confirmed that: by increasing hydrogen (H)2) The concentration and the residue rate are reduced.
TABLE 4
As described above, although the float glass production method and the float glass production apparatus have been described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it is apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
The present application is based on japanese patent application 2015-114395, filed on 5.6.2015, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
