The type of fining agent and its amount will vary depending on the glass composition and melting method. There is generally an optimum range for the amount of clarifier used, and it is known that if it is too small, it will not be possible to remove the bubbles generated during dissolution, and if it is too large, foaming will occur easily due to temperature changes, etc.

When manufacturing commercial quality glass products, homogenization stirring is necessary, but this stirring may generate bubbles. As a means of suppressing the generation of bubbles, it is possible to raise the temperature during dissolution and lower the temperature during stirring.In other words, by increasing the temperature, the amount of clarifier dissolved is lowered, and by lowering the temperature, the solubility of the clarifier is increased. It's been coming. Furthermore, attempts have been made to reduce the amount of clarifier used as much as possible within the range that allows bubbles to be removed during dissolution.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, in the conventional method for manufacturing high-quality glass, the type and amount of fining agent suitable for the glass composition is selected, the temperature during melting is increased (and the temperature during homogenization stirring is increased). It was common to lower the temperature.However, the maximum operating temperature of furnace materials and heating elements that can be used in the atmosphere is about 1600℃,
Even at temperatures of about 500 to 1600℃, log η = 2.5 ~
3. For high viscosity glasses with a viscosity of 0 or more, the melting temperature can be increased, and a larger amount of fining agent is used compared to lower viscosity glasses to remove bubbles generated during melting. There is a need. However, with highly viscous glass, the temperature during stirring cannot be lowered due to the lack of strength of the stirring rod and reduced homogenization ability, and the use of a large amount of clarifier increases the risk of re-foaming due to stirring. There is.

The ratio of the glass raw material that does not contain a fining agent, which is melted in the first stage (crude melt group), and the glass raw material that contains a fining agent, which is added in the second stage, is determined by the proportion of the fining agent in the glass raw material and the glass bubbles. It can be adjusted arbitrarily depending on the shedding characteristics etc.
In order to easily exhibit the effects of the present invention, it is preferable that the amount of the glass raw material containing a refining agent is equivalent to 5 to 20 wt% of the total molten glass.

Here, the bubbles remaining in the glass melt are generated by the decomposition of carbonates, etc. in the glass raw materials and the trapping of the furnace atmosphere gas in the glass raw materials, and have a wide range of bubble size distribution. . Therefore, when melting a glass raw material homogeneously containing a certain amount of a conventional fining agent, the 02 generated at 1300° C. or higher penetrates into relatively large bubbles and is consumed.
