(clarification steps and clarifying tank)
Fig. 3 (a) is the main figure that represents the device formation of carrying out clarification steps.
Clarification steps comprises defoaming treatment and absorbs processing.In the following description, to use stannic oxide to describe as the example of finings.Stannic oxide clarification function compared with the general arsenus acid using is in the past low, but can be suitable as finings because of the low aspect of carrying capacity of environment.But, because the clarification function ratio arsenus acid of stannic oxide is low, so, using in the situation of stannic oxide, the temperature of the melten glass MG must make the clarification steps of melten glass MG time is higher than in the past.In the case, for example top temperature of the temperature of the melten glass in clarification steps is for example 1630 ℃~1720 ℃, preferably 1670 ℃~1710 ℃.
Melten glass MG after melting in melting groove 101 utilizes glass supply-pipe 104 (with reference to Fig. 2) to import to clarifying tank 102.
As shown in Fig. 3 (a), clarifying tank 102 comprises the finer 102a of the strip that comprises platinum or platinum alloy etc., and the ventpipe 102b that comprises the top that is arranged on finer 102a, battery lead plate 102c, 102d, flange 102e, 102f and gas introduction tube 102h, 102i.
Specifically, the finer 102a of clarifying tank 102 comprises the liquid phase that contains melten glass and the gas-phase space being formed by the liquid level of this melten glass and the inwall of clarifying tank 102a.At least a portion of surrounding the inwall of the clarifying tank 102 of gas-phase space is to be made up of the material such as platinum or platinum alloy.In the gas-phase space of finer 102a, do not form air-flow by the mode in region lower than the temperature that becomes saturated vapor pressure with platinum metals contained in gas-phase space.The mode that preferably produces air-flow with the part that temperature is lower from the inwall of the finer 102a that contacts with gas-phase space towards the higher part of the temperature of inwall forms air-flow.Air-flow preferably uses air-flow to form device and produces.Form device as air-flow, preferably use the pressure control device of controlling the pressure in gas-phase space.Poor by mineralization pressure in gas-phase space, can produce air-flow towards the lower region of pressure from the higher region of pressure.As pressure control device, enumerate to suction unit that imports the gas introduction tube of gas in gas-phase space or gas-phase space is aspirated etc.
Clarifying tank 102 preferably comprises gas is imported to gas introduction tube 102h, the 102i in gas-phase space.Gas preferably uses such as, the mixed gas for the rare gas such as rare gas element, nitrogen or nitrogen, helium, neon or these gases with respect to melten glass and platinum or platinum alloy etc. Gas introduction tube 102h, 102i are connected in gas introduction port 102j, the 102k of the inwall that is arranged on finer 102a.Therefore,, as shown in Fig. 3 (b), rare gas element imports in gas-phase space by gas introduction port 102j, 102k.Fig. 3 (b) is the mobile figure describing of the gas of the inside to finer 102a.
Importing from the rare gas element of gas introduction tube 102h, 102i is in the present embodiment, imports, but might not be limited to nozzle from the nozzle as gas introduction port 102j, 102k, also can utilize known method to import rare gas element.The rare gas element importing is preferably heated near the temperature of part of the gas-phase space being imported in advance, make with gas-phase space in the temperature head of temperature little.
As shown in Fig. 3 (b), ventpipe 102b is connected the gas-phase space of finer 102b with atmosphere, the gas in gas-phase space or rare gas element are discharged in atmosphere.The shape of the ventpipe 102b of present embodiment forms and is the shape that chimney-like is extended as the crow flies upward, but is not restricted to this shape.Also can be bending halfway shape etc.
Clarifying tank 102 preferably arranges the suction unit of the gas in suction gas-phase space.And suction unit preferably arranges in the mode being connected with ventpipe 102b.By use gas introduction tube, suction unit or described both control the air pressure of gas-phase space, can in gas-phase space, produce desired air-flow.
Though end diagram, also can be around clarifying tank 102 covering refractory brick.In the substantial middle portion of clarifying tank 102, between flange 102e and flange 102f, ventpipe 102b is being set.
Via flange 102e, 102f, battery lead plate 102c, 102d are being set at finer 102a.Flange 102e is arranged on an end of finer 102a.Flange 102f is arranged on the position midway of length direction of finer 102a.Certainly, flange 102f also can be arranged on the other end of finer 102a. Battery lead plate 102c, 102d are and are connected as the AC power 102g of electric power supply source, be applied in the voltage of regulation.Flange 102e, 102f are made up of the metal with electroconductibility, make to flow in the mode of disperseing equably on the week at finer 102a from the electric current of battery lead plate 102c, 102d. Battery lead plate 102c, 102d heat finer 102a energising by making current flowing arrive finer 102a, will be warming up to for example more than 1630 ℃ along the temperature of the mobile melten glass MG of finer 102a.
On the other hand, melten glass MG be in finer 102a with melten glass MG have liquid level mode flow.The melten glass MG that viscosity for example becomes 120~400 pools by the energising heating of described finer 102a float the bubble expanding by the effect of finings in melten glass MG, the liquid level of melten glass MG break and by the air release comprising in bubble in gas-phase space., carry out defoaming treatment.Therefore, finer 102a is that the mode that has a liquid level with melten glass MG therein comprises gas-phase space.
Gas-phase space above finer 202 breaks and in the gas that the discharges atmosphere from ventpipe 102b is discharged into finer 102.
In finer 102a the temperature of mobile melten glass MG for example maintain 1630 ℃ above after, below the latter half of finer 102a or (the periodically or continuously) cooling gradually below 105 of follow-up glass supply-pipe, carry out the absorption processing of bubble.In absorption is processed, bubble is absorbed in melten glass MG and is disappeared by the cooling of melten glass MG as described.
In Fig. 3 (a), represent arranging the example of pair of electrodes plate 102c, 102d, but for example in the case of the latter half of finer 102a is lowered the temperature, except battery lead plate 102c, 102d, 1 pair of above battery lead plate also can be set.
In addition, for example, because finer 102a is heated and is heated to high temperature (1700 ℃ of left and right) by energising as described, so platinum or platinum alloy etc. are easily from the inwall volatilization of the finer 102a that comprises platinum or platinum alloy etc.And, because the gas-phase space of finer 102a communicates with atmosphere as described, so, in gas-phase space, there is oxygen, in addition, oxygen is also included in the gas producing by froth breaking as composition, so the oxygen concn in gas-phase space is higher than the oxygen concn of atmosphere.Therefore, promote the volatilization of platinum or platinum alloy etc.In gas-phase space, contain like this more platinum of having vaporized from the inwall of finer 102a or the volatile matter of platinum alloy.
In the clarifying tank 102 of present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3 (a), gas introduction port 102j, 102k are arranged on to the part that flange 102e, 102f are being set.Its reason is to make the rare gas element importing from gas introduction port 102j, 102k to flow towards ventpipe 102b as shown in Fig. 3 (b). Flange 102e, 102f to spread equably and arrange from the electric current of battery lead plate 102c, 102d in order to make on the week of finer 102a, flange 102e, 102f be for by the heat of transmitting from finer 102a to external radiation and suppress the illustrated refrigerating unit in damaged end of the flange 102e, the 102f that are caused by heat and be located at flange 102e, 102f and by cooling to flange 102e, 102f, so the inner wall section that the finer 102a of flange 102e, 102f is set is that the temperature of flange corresponding part is lower than the temperature of the surrounding of this flange corresponding part.
Fig. 4 is the figure of the example that distributes along the length direction of finer 102a of the inner wall temperature that schematically shows finer 102a.As described in temperature can be by measuring and obtain at the inwall of finer 102a or near configuring thermopair etc. in the gas-phase space of inwall.The in the situation that of finer 102a, lower than the temperature of peripheral part in the flange corresponding part temperature that flange 102e, 102f are set, if furthermore, be minimum, along with before permeability cell 102b so that temperature uprise gradually.But, because permeability cell 102b is the region of giving prominence near atmosphere, so, cannot avoid dispelling the heat to atmosphere.Therefore,, in the part that permeability cell 102b is set, temperature declines.But the temperature of this part is higher than the temperature of flange corresponding part.Finer 102a have as described in temperature distribution.
Like this, in the flange corresponding part temperature that flange 102e, 102f are set than low around it.Therefore, if the volatile matter of platinum or platinum alloy etc. of volatilization touches the described flange corresponding part that temperature is lower around described flange corresponding part, the easy aggegation of volatile matter according to the temperature dependency of the saturated vapor pressure of volatile matter.Therefore, for the volatile matter of platinum or platinum alloy etc. of the surrounding volatilization that makes the flange corresponding part that described flange 102e, 102f are set can not touch the described flange corresponding part that temperature is lower, forcibly produce the air-flow of rare gas element towards the temperature part higher than described flange corresponding part from flange corresponding part.; the mode that produces strip air-flow with the part that temperature is lower from the inwall of the finer 102a that contacts with gas-phase space towards the higher part of the temperature of inwall along the length direction of finer 102a, will not have activated rare gas element to import in gas-phase space for melten glass and platinum or platinum alloy etc.In the present embodiment, at the flange corresponding part that described flange 102e, 102f are set, described gas introduction port 102j, 102k are being set.
In addition, as shown in Figure 4, in the case of the portion temperature decline that permeability cell 102b is set, the heating permeability cell 102b such as well heater are set around permeability cell 102b, thus, can prevent the volatile matter of inwall aggegation platinum or the platinum alloy etc. of near finer 102a inwall and the permeability cell 102b of permeability cell 102b.
And except the gas discharging from melten glass, the rare gas element not reacting with finer 102a and melten glass also imports in gas-phase space, so the air pressure in gas-phase space is higher than atmosphere.Because of this pressure difference, the volatile matter of gas and then platinum or the platinum alloy etc. that can make passing through in gas-phase space clarify to produce is discharged in atmosphere rapidly via permeability cell 102b.Therefore, the volatile matter of platinum or platinum alloy etc. is difficult for producing aggegation.Or, also can connect last illustrated suction unit at permeability cell 102b, the volatile matter of gas and then platinum or the platinum alloy etc. that passing through in gas-phase space is clarified produce is discharged rapidly from permeability cell 102b.Now, the air pressure in gas-phase space is lower than the external pressure of normal atmosphere or encirclement clarifying tank 103.Specifically, the air pressure in gas-phase space also can exceed 0 and be less than 10Pa (0Pa < normal atmosphere-gas-phase space internal gas pressure < 10Pa) than normal atmosphere is little.And, because import rare gas element in gas-phase space, so, point drops of the oxygen that can make easily to make the volatilization such as platinum or platinum alloy in gas-phase space.Therefore, can suppress the volatilization of platinum or platinum alloy etc.
In the present embodiment, because producing the temperature distribution of inwall on the length direction at finer 102a, so the air-flow of manufacturing by the importing of rare gas element is as shown in Fig. 3 (b), along the length direction of finer 102a.But described air-flow is not limited to along the length direction of finer 102a, the part that temperature is lower from the inwall of the finer 102a that contacts with gas-phase space produces air-flow towards the higher part of the temperature of inwall.
