Effect of fine grinding of glass batch on the rate of melting

Research Methods of Making Glass and its Physico-Chemical Properties

“…Only in the second half of the twentieth century. It has been shown that sodium-calcium-silicate glasses constitute a small part of the limitless world of inorganic glasses [13].…”

“…In nature, the most common are crystalline solids, the structure of which is characterized by a geometrically rigorous ordering of particles (atoms, ions) in three-dimensional space. The crystalline state is stable under normal conditions and is characterized by the lowest internal energy [13]. Solid crystalline substances have clear geometric forms, certain melting points, in most cases they exhibit anisotropy, or their physical properties (refractive index, thermal conductivity, rates of dissolution and crystal growth, etc.)…”
