Glass melting process in microwave heating using a metal crucible made of platinum or a platinum alloy

PendingJP2025523938APot furnacesCrucible furnacesLaboratory scaleAlloy
The melting of glass using microwave heating is a relatively new development and has been tested in laboratory-scale glass production. Various glass systems in the temperature range of 1200 - 1500 °C using MW heating have been implemented as alternative heating methods. These glass systems containing SiO2, B2O3, and P2O5 as the main components of various special-purpose glass matrices have been melted. In small-scale glass melting by microwave heating, the required electrical energy is significantly reduced, and 50 - 75% of the energy is saved. Furthermore, the total time of glass melting is dramatically shortened due to a faster heating rate and volumetric heating. The OH concentration has been found to be lower in barium borosilicate glass and zinc borate glass prepared by microwave heating. A higher Fe 2+ being retained may have the potential to be applied in the development of IR-absorbing glass.
