The Effect of Arsenic on the Melting and Refining Rate in a Tank Furnace of Soda–Lime–Silica Glass for Colourless Containers.

JSGT 1943 V27 T018-T021

The results are given of a large scale test showing, under the conditions of operation described, that when the arsenic added in normal amount for decolorising purposes was omitted from the batch, no noticeable change took place in the rate of melting and refining, and no appreciable variation took place in the carefully measured amounts of fuel gas consumed by the furnace.
