摘要

Production of glass comprises arranging a precious metal element in a cuvette containing a glass melt and refining with oxygen. The element has one of the outer surfaces facing the melt and one of the inner surfaces bombarded by oxygen or an oxygen-containing mixture and facing away from the melt. An independent claim is also included for an apparatus for carrying out the process comprising a melt bath having a region for refining the glass melt and containing a precious metal element having a side facing the melt and a side bombarded with oxygen and facing away from the melt.
