Preliminary heat-treating methods currently in practice in the glass industries of the USSR and USA are reviewed. Efforts in increasing the throughput, reducing power consumption, improving glass quality, extending the raw material range, reducing the particle discharge to the atmosphere, and improving batch preservation are discussed. New and tried methods include using a glass charge after preliminary heat treatment; heat treatment in stack gases for granulated batches used in making sodium silicate; development of a pilot plant for heating granulated batches; use of agglomerated batches with preheating; glass batch and cullet heating; and glass briquetting and fritting. Preheating exchangers are classified and described, including recuperative, regenerative, and mixer.
