Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0072] Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers representing sizes, physical properties, amounts of components, reaction conditions, and others used in this specification and the claims include starting and ending range values and encompass any and all sub-ranges included within those range values. For example, a specified range of "1 to 10" is considered to include any and all sub-ranges (including the minimum value of 1 and the maximum value of 10) between 1 and 10.

[0073] Any reference to compositional amounts, unless otherwise specified, is in "weight percentages" based on the total weight of the final glass composition. The "total iron" content of the glass compositions disclosed herein is expressed in Fe2O3 in accordance with standard analytical practice, regardless of the form in which it actually exists. Similarly, the amount of iron in the ferrous state is reported as FeO, even if the iron in the ferrous state is not actually present in the glass as FeO. The terms "redox," "redox ratio," or "iron redox ratio" mean the amount of iron in the ferrous state (expressed as FeO) divided by the amount of total iron (expressed as Fe2O3). The "sulfur" content of the glass compositions disclosed herein is expressed in SO3 in accordance with standard analytical practice, regardless of the form in which it actually exists.

[0074] Where used herein, the "visible transmittance" value is determined using the conventional CIE Illuminant A and a 2-degree observer angle. Those skilled in the art will understand that even if the actual thickness of the measured glass sample differs from the reference thickness, properties such as visible transmittance can be calculated using an equivalent reference thickness, for example, 3.85 millimeters (mm).

[0075] All documents referenced herein, such as, but not limited to, issued patents and patent applications, shall be deemed to be incorporated in their entirety by reference.

[0076] Iron can be found in glass in two different oxidation states: namely, iron in the divalent iron state (Fe 2+ , represented as ferrous oxide (FeO), and iron in the trivalent iron state (Fe 3+ (It is represented as ferric oxide (Fe2O3)).

number

[0077] The term "redox ratio" means the amount of iron in the divalent iron state (represented as FeO) divided by the amount of total iron (represented as Fe2O3).

[0078] As can be understood by those skilled in the art, controlling the redox of a glass composition is achieved by controlling the conditions under which the glass is made. Many such factors can affect the redox. The concentration of a reducing agent (e.g., carbon, etc.) and the concentration of an oxidizing agent (e.g., sodium sulfate, etc.) can each affect the redox. For example, sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) may be added as a raw material to a glass batch for bubble removal, high-temperature purification, promotion of mass transport, dissolution of free silica on the glass surface, and reduction in the number of solid inclusions. However, Na2SO4 has oxidizing properties, and as a result, a small amount of carbon is usually added to the mixture to counteract undesirable oxidation. Further, Na2SO4 is converted to SO3 during the glass manufacturing process, and in this case, SO3 has an inverse correlation with the redox, while sulfur has a direct correlation with the redox. Finally, melting conditions, such as changing the oxygen excess during combustion in a furnace or adjusting the flame direction, etc., may further affect the redox.

[0079] In one aspect of the present invention, the present invention has a visible light transmittance ( "T" LA greater than 0 percent and less than or equal to 8 percent at a glass thickness of 3.85 mm according to CIE Ilum"A" over a wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm ( "T" LA "), (preferably, greater than 1 percent and less than or equal to 7 percent, or further greater than 2 percent and less than or equal to 6 percent, or further greater than 3 percent and less than or equal to 5 percent, or further greater than 2 percent and less than or equal to 4 percent at a glass thickness of 3.85 mm according to CIE Ilum"A" over a wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm, a visible light transmittance ( "T" LA "), and an a in the range of -8 to 4.5 LA "), *(Preferably a in the range of -6 to 4) * , or a in the range of -5 to 1 * , or even a in the range of -4.5 to 0.5 * ), and b in the range of -12.5 to 15.5 * (Preferably b in the range of -5.5 to 12.5) * , or b in the range of -2 to 6 * , or even b in the range of 0 to 5 * Includes glass having ). The glass is L * It may have a range of 10 to 35, preferably 13 to 28, more preferably 15 to 26, or even more preferably 15.5 to 25.5.

[0080] In another embodiment, the present invention further comprises 0.044 to 0.059 weight percent of CoO, or 0.0465 to 0.0565 weight percent of CoO, or even 0.049 to 0.054 weight percent of CoO. The addition of CoO contributes to neutralizing the color of the glass, while simultaneously providing a luminescence over a wavelength of 380 nm to 780 nm. LA With CIE Ilum "A", a glass thickness of 3.85 mm achieves a T of over 0 percent to 10 percent. LA It also contributes to achieving a range, or a range greater than 0 percent but less than 9 percent, or a range of 0.5 percent but less than 8 percent, or a range of 1 percent but less than 7 percent, or even a range of 2 percent but less than 6 percent, or even a range of 3 percent but 5 percent or less, or even a range of 2 percent but 4 percent or less.

[0081] With respect to the weight percentages of various compounds added to the glass compositions disclosed herein, such additives can be viewed as any weight percentage described for any of the desired additives, and such weight percentages are calculated based on 100 parts by weight of the base glass composition.

[0082] According to the present invention, the following performance characteristics are measured as described below: Ultraviolet Transmittance (T UV ) is measured over the wavelength range of 300nm to 400nm using the ISO 13837 standard. In addition, if applicable, visible light transmittance (T LA ) is measured using the CIE standard illuminant (light source) "A" over the wavelength range of 380nm to 780nm; direct sunlight transmittance (Te) is measured over the wavelength range of 300nm to 2500nm using the ISO 13837 standard; infrared transmittance (T) IR ) is measured over the wavelength range of 800nm ​​to 2500nm using the ISO 13837 standard; total solar energy transmittance (T ts ) is measured using the ISO 13837 standard. If applicable, T UV , T IR and T ts The transmittance data is calculated using Parry Moon air mass 1.5 direct solar irradiance data, as is known in the art, and integrated using the trapezoidal rule.

[0083] In addition, the color variables (L) of the color system CIELAB 1976 * a * and b * One or more of these are also calculated using tristimulus values.

[0084] Glass may be melted and refined in continuous, large-scale commercial glass melting operations. Glass can also be formed into flat glass sheets of various thicknesses by the float method, in which the molten glass is supported on a pool of molten metal, usually tin, as the molten glass is cooled in a ribbon-like shape in a manner widely known in the art.

[0085] It should be noted that in any of the methods disclosed herein, coal may be used in batch chemistry to form the various glasses disclosed herein. In another example, coal in batch chemistry can be replaced in a 1:1 ratio with any other suitable alternative carbon source, including (but not limited to) graphite. If this modification is made, no other modifications are required for batch chemistry in any of the embodiments described above. In addition, if an electric furnace is used to process the batch chemistry, the amount of coal or other carbon source must be varied accordingly, in light of the fact that the processing environment present in the electric furnace differs from that of a gas furnace. In one example that is not limited, since coal or other carbon source is considered a reducing agent, the amount of carbon used must be varied based on the atmospheric composition and / or environmental properties present in the furnace used to process a desired batch of glass according to any embodiment of the present invention.

[0086] As is known in the art, glass recycling is an integral part of various types of glass manufacturing. As such, in some cases, the present invention may utilize one or more sources of glass cullet (i.e., recycled glass material). As is known, there are two types of cullet: internal and external. Internal cullet consists of defective products detected and rejected by quality control processes during the industrial process of glass manufacturing, transitional products for product changes (e.g., changes in thickness and color), and production scraps, while external cullet is waste glass collected or reprocessed for recycling. External cullet may be classified as waste because it may be before or after reaching the consumer. In some embodiments, the present invention may utilize any suitable type of cullet, whether internal or external. If a large amount of external cullet is added to any of the batch chemistry detailed above, the amount of Fe2S additive should be adjusted accordingly if such external cullet consists of more than 50 weight percent of visually clear glass, as opposed to glass that appears either green or blue-green.

[0087] As should be understood, the present invention is not limited to glass compositions, but rather relates to glass compositions that can be used to form various glass-containing articles in which one or more layers of glass are desirable, according to any of the embodiments disclosed herein.

It should be noted that any suitable layered or even non-layered structure may be formed to contain at least one glass layer of the present invention. Since various such structures are known to those skilled in the art, a detailed discussion herein is omitted for brevity.

[0089] In yet another embodiment, the glass of the present invention may be coated with one or more coatings known to those skilled in the art. Such coatings include, but are not limited to, one or more low-e (low emissivity) coatings, one or more anti-reflective coatings, one or more solar radiation-modulating coatings (e.g., those capable of modifying the amount of transmitted, reflected, and absorbed solar radiation in the solar radiation range between 300 and 2500 nm), one or more low-UV coatings and / or IRC (near-IR) coatings, or any combination of two or more thereof.
