Soda-lime glass stock accounts for the majority (around 90 percent) of the types of glass products, and is typically largely comprised of silica, with about 10 percent each of calcium oxide and lime. Small amounts of aluminum oxide, ferric oxide, barium oxide, sulfur trioxide, and magnesia also account for about 5 percent of soda-lime glass.
اقرأ أكثرWhen lime is heated with silica sand (SiO 2) and sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3), a solution is formed that does not crystallize when cooled.Instead, it hardens to an amorphous, clear and nearly colorless solid - namely, glass. Because it is a mixture and not a pure compound, glass does not have a distinct melting point; it gradually softens as it is heated.
اقرأ أكثرGlass bakeware is often made of tempered soda-lime glass. (Noel, 2008) Soda-lime glass accounts for about 90% of manufactured glass. Soda-lime glass is relatively inexpensive, chemically stable, reasonably hard, and extremely workable. Because it can be resoftened and remelted numerous times, it is ideal for glass recycling.

اقرأ أكثرGenerally, two types of glass are used for making apparatus for laboratory work. These are soda-lime glass and borosilicate glass. Soda-lime glass, which is made by heating soda, limestone and silica, softens readily at about 300-400°C in the burner flame. Therefore, on heating glass tubings made of soda-lime glass easily softens and can be bent.

اقرأ أكثرIn the glass making process, the cooling rate is arranged such that viscosity increases and the mobility of the atoms is hindered thus preventing arrangements and crystallisation from ocuring. Thus glass is often referred to as a supercooled liquid in that it has no crystallisation or melting point and does not exhibit the phenomenon of the ...
