摘要
A process for making soda-lime glass includes calcinating calcium carbonate in solid phase and at elevated temperature to form calcium oxide and release gases such as carbon dioxide. Sodium silicate glass is formed separately in liquid phase while releasing gaseous reaction products. The calcium oxide and the sodium silicate glass intermediate products are mixed in liquid phase to form a soda-lime glass melt. Formation of sodium silicate glass as an intermediate product before mixing with the calcium oxide has the advantage of promoting release of gaseous reaction products in the sodium silicate due at least in part to the relatively low viscosity of the sodium silicate glass. The calcination step and/or the sodium silicate-forming step and/or the final mixing step can be carried out under reduced pressure further to promote release of gases and reduce bubble formation.
