Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing coloured glass and coloured glass thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to method for manufacturing ruby red (dark pink) coloured lead based glass and Ruby red coloured lead based glass thereof.
- a base material for Si02 can be, for example tetraethyl orthosilicate and the base materials for adding further glasscomponents, such as B2O 3 , AI2O 3 , Na 2 0 or P2O5, can be boric acid trimethyl ester, aluminium triisopropylate, sodium methylate, zinc-2,4- pentanedionat, tributyl phosphate, or other alkoxides.
- a disadvantage with such glasses based on Si(3 ⁇ 4 is that the glass has less density and shine. Accordingly, a need exist for providing a method for manufacturing a glass that has high density has more shine in comparison to the existing glasses. It is required to manufacture a glass that is typical ruby red (dark pink) in colour.
- a colouring composition for a coloured glass comprises:
- Si0 2 Silicon Dioxide
- MgO Magnesium Oxide
- Aluminium Oxide (A1 2 0 3 );
- Iron Oxide Fe 2 0 3
- Arsenic Oxide (As 2 0 3 );
- the colouring composition comprises:
- Si0 2 Silicon Dioxide
- Sodium Tetraborate Na 2 B/ t 0 7
- Tin Oxide Sn0 2
- Aluminium Oxide (A1 2 0 3 );
- Iron Oxide Fe 2 0 3
- Arsenic Oxide (As 2 0 3 );
- a glazing pane comprising a coloured glass sheet, wherein the coloured glass sheet has a composition as stated above.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a glass composition that result in anruby red (dark pink) coloured glass.
- Another object is to provide a composition those results in glass having high density in comparison to the existing glasses.
- a colouring composition for a coloured glass comprises:
- Si0 2 Silicon Dioxide
- Tin Oxide Sn0 2
- MgO Magnesium Oxide
- Aluminium Oxide (A1 2 0 3 ); 0.001-0.004% by weight of Copper (II) Oxide (CuO);
- Iron Oxide Fe 2 0 3
- Arsenic Oxide (As 2 0 3 );
- the colouring composition comprises:
- Si0 2 Silicon Dioxide
- Tin Oxide Sn0 2
- Aluminium Oxide (A1 2 0 3 );
- Iron Oxide Fe 2 0 3
- Arsenic Oxide (As 2 0 3 );
- a process to manufacture glass in accordance with the invention is provided.
- Glass is produced in a two-step process, and then shaped to make it suitable for a variety of applications.
- the first step is batch mixing.
- batch mixing the mixture of ingredients to make up the glass, together with small quantities of various other minor ingredients) are mixed in a rotary mixer to ensure an even mix of ingredients and fed into the furnace.
- the mixture of ingredients to make up the glass are known as major primary mixtures and the others are referred to as secondary minor mixtures.
- the primary major ingredients are listed below along with their weight percentage:
- Si0 2 Silicon Dioxide
- the secondary minor ingredients are listed below along with their weight percentage:
- Tin Oxide Sn0 2
- Iron Oxide Fe 2 0 3
- Arsenic Oxide (As 2 0 3 );
- K2O Potassium Oxide
- Glass is made of different ingredients in differing proportions depending on the desired end product, but most glass (except for some specialist glass) consists of all the "majors" mixed with small quantities of some of the minors.
- the minors are weighed first in a special weighing hopper, and added to the majors with a little water. Water is necessary as in a very dry mix the fines can blow off the batch as it enters the furnace and clog up the furnace flues.
- the two tonne batch is then mixed for between two and three minutes in a rotary mixer, before being transported to a batch hopper, from which it is slowly fed into a furnace.
- the secondary minor ingredients act as colouring agents and their weight percentage determines the colour of the final product. Colour results from two factors: the oxidation state of the glass, and the specific colourant additives used. Glass oxidation is promoted by the addition of carbon, and the degree of oxidation is measured on an arbitrary scale known as the carbon number. Clear glass has a carbon number of zero, dark green glass is -28 and amber is -52. Other variations of colour are achieved through the action of coloured materials that act as dyes. In the present case, mixture of Gold (III) Chloride (AUCI 3 ), Tin Oxide, Magnesium Oxide when mixed in appropriate weight percentage as stated previously result in a unique ruby red colour. As glass is fed continuously into the furnaces, each furnace has to be dedicated to producing glass of a particular recipe, and it takes 12-48 hours and a number of steps to alter the mix to change to producing a different type of glass of an acceptable standard.
- the next step after mixing the ingredients and putting the mixture in the furnace involves heating the mixture to 1100-1550 degrees C, where the ingredients melt and various chemical reactions take place and C0 2 and SO 3 are evolved.
- the ingredients mixture is fed continuously into a furnace fired by natural gas, boosted by electricity when necessary.
- the glass is initially heated to 1100 degrees C, then raised to 1550 degrees C, at which temperature the mixture melts.
- the glass is then held above 1400 degrees C while it is refined and CO 2 and SO 3 are evolved. When no more gases are evolved the liquid is ready to be formed into the desired endproduct.
- the furnaces are kept at these precise temperatures by a cross-fired system which reduces heat loss and promotes a more even heat distribution in the molten glass.
- the molten glass is cooled and shaped into appropriate size and thickness.
- the advantage of using lead oxide is that it produces more shine and increases the density of the resultant glass.
- the colouring composition as defined above includes one or more of Gold (III) Chloride Tin Oxide, Magnesium Oxide (combined under reducing conditions) acting as colouring agents.
- the aforesaid composition results in a ruby red (dark pink) coloured glass.
- one or more of calcium oxide, antimony trioxide and arsenic oxide are used for enhancing the opaque properties of the glass.
- the colouring composition may be in powder form, or in the form of pellets, tablets or granules.
- the process of forming the granules include providing a composition in accordance with the invention and humidifying the same. Thereafter, the process involves reducing the composition into granules, humidifying the colorant granules; and drying the granules.
- the humidification step is carried out in an atmosphere comprising from 15 to 35% by weight of water, preferably from 20 to 30% by weight of water.
- a granule of the colouring composition in accordance with the invention has a density which ranges from 4 to 8 g/cm3, preferably between 6 and 8 g/cm3, a size which ranges between 1 and 15 mm, preferably between 2 and 10 mm and a humidity of less than 5% w/w, preferably less than 3% w/w.
- a glazing pane comprising a coloured glass sheet having the composition as stated above is provided.
- the colouring composition includes at least one of Tin oxide, Calcium oxide, Arsenic oxide for varying the opaque characteristics of glass formed using the colouring compositionA
- the glass prepared using the above composition is ruby red in colour and it is opaque in character and generally used, but not limited to, for jewellery and decorative items. However, it is to be noted that the glass produced using the above composition may be used for other purposes as well. Further, slight colour variation and opacity resulting from varying the percentage of the ingredients are within the scope of the invention.
