Radioactive tracer methods applied to a study of mixing during treatment of sand for glass manufacture
JSGT 1958 V42 T109-T118
Different amounts of sand labelled with an equilibrium mixture of 140Ba and 140La have been successfully used to trace the passage of sand through a sand washing and grading plant and thence through a glass-melting tank furnace. Information has been obtained by this means on the degree of mixing occurring in each stage of the process.
