Abstract
It is reported that the energy consumption in the production of glass containers can be reduced by lowering the glass-making temperature by partially replacing alternative silicon-containing raw material—porcellanite—for the conventional raw materials. The chemical, phase, and granulometric composition of porcellanite as well as the properties of experimental glasses are investigated. The energy consumption on melting the experimental glasses based on porcellanite is compared with the energy consumption in the case of conventional raw materials.
