PURPOSE:To prevent the erosion of the bottom part of a glass-melting furnace by ionizing metallic foreign matters deposited by the reduction with Mo electrode during the melting of glass and dissolving the ionized material into the glass. CONSTITUTION:An electrode 11 connected to a negative pole of a DC power source 12 is placed in molten glass 8 at the over-flow part 5 of a glass-melting furnace 1 constructed of refractory 2. An electrically conductive refractory 10 connected to a positive pole of the power source 12 is placed at the furnace bottom 9 just below an Mo electrode 6 placed on the side wall of the furnace 1. A glass raw material 7 is charged into the furnace 1 through a charging port 3 and melted by heating with electric current passed between the electrodes 6 and with gas heating. A DC current is passed through the glass using the refractory 10 as the positive pole and the electrode 11 as the negative pole and the metal deposited on the electrode 11 is discharged from the furnace 1 through the over-flow part 5. The metallic foreign matters 13 deposited on the refractory 10 are vitrified by oxidization.

2. Description of the Related Art The use of direct current heating of glass by molybdenum electrodes has been increasing year by year for reasons such as high thermal efficiency and less scattering of glass raw materials.
When a glass containing a metal ion such as lead, arsenic, or antimony, which is easily reduced, is heated and melted by a direct energization method using a molybdenum electrode, these metal oxides are reduced by the molybdenum electrode to form a metal state. And deposits on the refractory at the bottom of the glass melting furnace. Originally, since these metal ions are part of the glass component or are fining agents, depositing them in a metallic state not only causes an increase in raw material costs and an inhibition of the fining action, but also these deposits. The metal foreign matter erodes the bottom refractory of the glass melting furnace, shortens the life of the furnace, and further flows into the product to cause a serious glass defect.

As a method for preventing the precipitation of this kind of metallic foreign matter, a DC positive electrode is connected to the molybdenum electrode to prevent the above metal oxides from being reduced, and a super low frequency AC is used as a heating current. Although methods have been devised,
Although either method has the effect of suppressing the precipitation of metal foreign matter to some extent, it cannot be prevented completely, and as a result, metal foreign matter is deposited on the furnace bottom of the melting furnace, erodes the furnace bottom refractory, and It shortens the service life and causes glass defects in the product.
