CALCINED/ BUNRT DOLOMITE IN GLASS MANUFACTURING
Calcined dolomite plays a critical role in glass manufacturing, enhancing the quality and durability of glass products while reducing energy consumption and production costs. Its unique chemical composition and physical properties make it an ideal material for use in the glass-making process. As technology advances, calcined dolomite will continue to be a key ingredient in the production of high-quality glass products.
Calcined/ Burnt Dolomite
Calcined dolomite (CaO.MgO) is produced on heating of dolomite (CaCO3.MgCO3)
CaCO3.MgCO3 +heat --> CaO.MgO + 2CO2
Benefits of Using Calcined Dolomite in Glass Manufacturing
Calcined dolomite is a key ingredient in the production of high-quality glass products. It is used as a fluxing agent to lower the melting point of silica, which is the primary raw material used in glass manufacturing. By adding calcined dolomite to the mix, manufacturers can reduce the overall energy consumption and production costs of the glass-making process.
Calcined dolomite also improves the chemical durability of glass. It contains a high percentage of magnesium oxide, which reacts with any excess silica in the glass to form a strong, durable bond. This helps to prevent the glass from breaking or cracking, even under extreme conditions.
In addition, calcined dolomite can improve the optical properties of glass. It has a high refractive index, which means that it can bend light more effectively than other materials. This can improve the clarity and brightness of glass products, making them more attractive to consumers.
Calcined Dolomite is used in Glass Manufacturing
Calcined dolomite is typically added to the glass-making process in the form of a fine powder. It is mixed with the other raw materials, such as silica and soda ash, and then melted in a furnace at high temperatures. The calcined dolomite reacts with the excess silica to form a strong, durable glass product.
The amount of calcined dolomite used in glass manufacturing depends on the specific type of glass being produced. For example, high-quality optical glass may require a higher percentage of calcined dolomite to achieve the desired optical properties.
