Glass production rate in electric furnaces for radioactive waste vitrification
Abstract
Abstract Correlating the melting rates of feeds in electric melters with results of simple laboratory experiments can help evaluate melter feed additives and their effects on melting rate, and support the feed scheduling and plant operation. A recently proposed melting rate correlation (MRC) equation, relating the melting rate to melt viscosity, feed‐to‐glass conversion heat, and cold‐cap bottom temperature, was tested using data from experiments covering various feed compositions and melter operating parameters. The MRC equation is shown to reasonably represent the measured data and thus can be used to quantify how individual variables (melt viscosity, cold‐cap bottom temperature, conversion heat, melter operating temperature, and bubbling flux) affect the glass production rate.
