APPLICATIONS
Bubbling for glass is a process used in glass manufacturing to improve the quality and clarity of the final product. Oxygen and helium play important roles in this process. Oxygen is introduced to promote combustion, creating a hotter and more efficient flame, which helps eliminate impurities and bubbles in the molten glass. Helium, being an inert gas, is used to fine-tune the glass’s viscosity and prevent unwanted reactions during the melting process. Together, these gases help produce high-quality, clear, and defect-free glass products.

Bubbling in glass manufacturing involves introducing gases into molten glass to remove impurities, homogenize the melt, and improve the quality and properties of the final glass product.
Bubbling helps to remove dissolved gases and impurities from the molten glass, reducing defects and improving the optical and mechanical properties of the finished glass product.
Common gases used for bubbling in glass manufacturing include oxygen, nitrogen, and air. Sometimes, argon and other inert gases may also be used.
Oxygen bubbling helps to oxidize and remove impurities, such as sulfur and carbon compounds, from the molten glass. This results in clearer, higher-quality glass with fewer defects.
Nitrogen is used as an inert gas to create a non-reactive atmosphere during the bubbling process. It helps to homogenize the glass melt and prevent unwanted chemical reactions.
Yes, argon can be used as an inert gas for bubbling in glass manufacturing, especially when a completely non-reactive atmosphere is required to maintain the purity of the glass melt
Safety considerations include proper handling and storage of gases, ensuring adequate ventilation, monitoring gas flow and pressure, and following safety protocols to prevent leaks and accidents.
Industries such as flat glass manufacturing, container glass production, and specialty glass making commonly use bubbling techniques to enhance the quality of their glass products.
