Abstract:
En un procesamiento para procesar residuos de la incineracion de desechos , de forma tal, que por ejemplo las escorias de la incineracion de desechos, en que las escorias se someten a un proceso de reduccion mientras se separan los metales, en que los residuos de la incineracion de desechos se introducen en un baño de escoria de planta acerera, en cantidades que varía desde 15 hasta 45% por peso, basado en la cantidad promedio, que los metales pesados o compuestos de metal pesado, como por ejemplo cloruro de Zn, Pb, Cd o Hg, que se evaporan durante la funcion de los residuos de la incineracion de desechos o escoria se retira y el baño líquido se reduce con la ayuda de portadores de carbono y bajo la formacion de un baño de hierro, después de los que la fase de escoria agotada de los metales se granula y se utiliza como un componente de cemento mezclado.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus are provided for refining glassy material (51) or the like by vacuum. The material (51) is first melted and then introduced into a vacuum chamber (12), preferably into space above liquid (51) held in the chamber (12). Other aspects involve a two-step melting process preparatory to the vacuum refining, in which the material is initially liquefied in one stage (10) and dissolution of particles is substantially completed in a second stage (11). The molten material (51) is preferably foamed (50) immediately upon entry into the vacuum chamber (12).
Abstract:
The glass melting tank for supplying a flat glass forming process has a melting zone (12) for melting solid batch material (20) and a refining zone (13) with reduced return flow of glass. The base of the refining zone (13) comprises a fusion cast refractory material (30) comprising alumina, silica and between 31 % and 43% by weight of zirconia. The refractory is conditioned by oxidation at at least 1450° C for 24 hours.
Abstract:
A melting furnace for glass manufacture which is provided at its one end (1) with an infeed opening (7) for batch material (6), and which has at its other end molten-glass outfeed means (12). The furnace includes at least one furnace burner (10, 11) which together with molten material (8) present in the furnace heats and melts the batch material charged to the furnace and present in the form of a layer on the melt, during movement of the batch material towards the other end (2) of the furnace, so that the batch material mixes with the melt. The furnace also includes at least one further burner (13) of the so-called oxygen-fuel-type at the infeed-end (1) of the furnace, so as to achieve additional, intensive heating of batch material (6) charged to the furnace, in combination with at least one further burner (14) of the so-called oxygen-fuel-type provided to achieve additional, intensive heating of the molten material (8) essentially in the hottest zone (9) of the melt. The invention also relates to a method for use when manufacturing glass in a melting furnace.
Abstract:
In a glass melting furnace (10) of the type that has a basin (12) wherein a bath (20) of molten glass is heated by a blanket (30) of flame that extends over the molten bath (20), performance and productivity are enhanced by installing oxygen injection lances (100) through holes (104) that are drilled through walls (14) of the furnace above the top surface (22) of the molten bath of glass in the furnace basin (12). The lances are thin walled tubes that each carry an adjustable flange (150) for preventing unwanted convection and radiation through furnace wall holes (104) that receive the lances (100). By bending the thin walled tubes (50) to carefully direct the discharging flows (102) of oxygen so that the discharge paths properly extend across the top surface (22) of the molten glass in closely spaced, parallel relationship thereto, and by selecting discharge opening size and configuration, the injected flows of oxygen are aimed and defined so as to effectively draw the blanket (30) of flame down to the suface portion (22) of the glass that is being heated, and to achieve complete combustion and maximum flame coverage. The lance discharge opening is preferably designed as a laval nozzle.
Abstract:
Glass articles are made by remelting and conditioning particulate glass. The glass may be in the form of cullet, optionally crushed and graded, and is fed into a heating vessel (4) and a conditioning vessel (7), from which molten glass is withdrawn to form the desired articles. The heating vessel (4) preferably incorporate a plasma heating device (6) to provide rapid and effective heating of the glass particles to form a glass melt.
