Abstract
Description
ガラス原料粒子が液状ガラス粒子となるときに発生する分解ガス成分は、ガラス原料粒子と液状ガラス粒子がともに小さな粒子であることより、生成する液状ガラス粒子の内部に閉じ込められることなくそのほとんどが液状ガラス粒子外部に放出される。このため、液状ガラス粒子が集積したガラス融液中に泡が生じるおそれは少ない。
一方、各ガラス原料粒子は、構成原料成分がほぼ均一な粒子であり、それから生じる各液状ガラス粒子のガラス組成も相互に均一である。液状ガラス粒子間のガラス組成の相違が少ないことより、多数の液状ガラス粒子が堆積して形成されるガラス融液内に、ガラス組成が異なる部分が生じるおそれは少ない。このため、従来のガラス溶融炉に必要とされていたガラス融液のガラス組成を均質化するための均質化手段が、気中溶融法ではほとんど必要とされない。たとえ少数の液状ガラス粒子が他の大部分の液状ガラス粒子とガラス組成が異なる場合が生じたとしても、液状ガラス粒子は粒径の小さな粒子であることより、ガラス組成が異なる少数の液状ガラス粒子から生じた、ガラス融液中のガラス組成の異質領域は小さく、この異質領域は短時間で容易に均質化して消失する。このように、気中溶融法ではガラス融液の均質化に必要とする熱エネルギーを低減し、均質化に要する時間を短くすることができる。
ガラスカレットのガラス組成がガラス原料粒子から形成されるガラスのガラス組成とほぼ同一であることより、ガラスカレット片が融解した液状ガラスとガラス原料粒子から形成された液状ガラスが混合したガラス融液のガラス組成は均一なものとなり、均質化に必要とする熱エネルギーが少なく、均質化に要する時間も短い。ガラスカレットのガラス組成とガラス原料粒子から形成される液状ガラス粒子のガラス組成は同一であることが好ましいが、溶融炉底部に形成されたガラス融液がガラス製品となる間にガラス組成がわずかに変化することがあり(例えば、酸化ホウ素などの揮発性ガラス成分の揮散など)、このようなガラス組成のわずかな相違は許容される。
なお、ガラスカレットはすでにガラスとなっている物質からなることから、加熱されたガラスカレット片は単に融解して液状のガラス粒子となる。一方、ガラス原料粒子は、ガラス原料の熱分解(例えば、金属炭酸塩から金属酸化物への熱分解など)、ガラス化反応と呼ばれるガラスとなる成分の反応と溶融、などの化学反応により液状のガラス粒子となる。固体粒子が液状のガラス粒子となるメカニズムはガラス原料粒子とガラスカレット片とでは異なるが、生成する液状のガラス粒子はほぼ同一のガラス組成の液状のガラス粒子である。
また、ガラスカレット片が炉内気相雰囲気中で加熱されて生じた少なくとも表面が液状化したガラス粒子は、全体が融解したガラス粒子、すなわち全体が液状ガラスからなる粒子、であることが好ましい。炉内気相雰囲気中でガラスカレット片を加熱して少なくとも表面が液状となったガラス粒子とすることより、ガラスカレット片の投入量が増加してもガラス融液の温度低下を少なくすることができる。
加熱されたガラスカレット片は、気相雰囲気中で少なくとも表面が融解したガラス粒子となればよく、気相雰囲気中で全体が液状のガラス粒子にならなくてもよい。ガラスカレット片の投入量が増加してもガラス融液の温度低下をより少なくするためには、ガラスカレット片が気相雰囲気中で全体が液状ガラスからなる粒子とすることが好ましい。以下、ガラス原料粒子から生成した液状ガラス粒子を液状ガラス粒子(a)、ガラスカレット片から生成した少なくとも表面が液状化しているガラス粒子を液状ガラス粒子(b)ともいう。
上記ガラス溶融炉において、第1気相部とは、前記ガラス原料粒子が液状ガラス粒子となる炉内気相雰囲気部分をいい、第2気相部とは、該第1気相部外の炉内気相雰囲気であって、その中でガラスカレット片が少なくとも表面が液状化したガラス粒子となる気相雰囲気部分をいう。すなわち、第1気相部とはガラス原料粒子が液状ガラス粒子(a)となる領域であり、第2気相部とはガラスカレット片が加熱され少なくとも表面が液状化して液状ガラス粒子(b)となる領域である。
炉内に第1気相部が複数存在する場合は、それぞれの第1気相部は、それ毎の気相加熱手段によって形成されていることが好ましい。第2気相部は、第1気相部を形成する気相加熱手段とは別の気相加熱手段によって形成される。炉内に第2気相部が複数存在する場合は、それぞれの第2気相部は、それ毎の気相加熱手段によって形成されていることが好ましい。
また、本発明のガラス溶融炉において、前記ガラス原料粒子投入部は、前記ガラス融液の流れ方向と略直角方向に沿って複数配置され、かつ該複数配置されているガラス原料粒子投入部の列が前記ガラス融液の流れ方向に沿って異なる位置に複数配置されていることが好ましい。
さらに、本発明のガラス溶融炉において、前記ガラスカレット片投入部は、前記炉底部に形成されたガラス融液が前記排出部に向かって流れるガラス融液の流れ方向と略直角方向に沿って1つ又は複数配置され、かつ前記ガラス融液の流れ方向に沿って複数配置され、さらにガラス融液の流れ方向に沿って前記ガラス原料粒子投入部と異なる位置に配置されていることが好ましい。
そこで本発明の一態様では、第1気相部と第2気相部とを互い違いに配置(Staggered layout)する。これにより、炉底に堆積する両液状ガラス粒子の混合が円滑に行われ、液状ガラス堆積時のガラス融液の異質性を小さくすることができる。また、このような互い違いに配置された第1気相部と第2気相部を、複数列配置することにより、液状ガラス堆積時のガラス融液の異質性を更に小さくすることができる。
図示したガラス溶融炉において、第1気相部及び第2気相部を形成する加熱手段は酸素燃焼バーナからなる。第1気相部及び第2気相部は、酸素燃焼バーナの火炎中及び火炎近傍の高温部から構成される。
第1気相部にガラス原料粒子を供給するためのガラス原料粒子投入部は酸素燃焼バーナと一体となり、酸素燃焼バーナ出口付近で燃焼ガスを供給する管と酸素を供給する管とガラス原料粒子を供給する管が同軸で構成されている。このガラス原料粒子投入部と酸素燃焼バーナとの組み合わせを第1セットという。
一方、ガラスカレット片投入部と酸素燃焼バーナとは別体で、ガラスカレット片を第2気相部に供給する管と酸素燃焼バーナとは上部の炉壁部に近接し配置されている。このガラスカレット片投入部と酸素燃焼バーナとの組み合わせを第2セットという。
ガラス原料粒子の平均粒径(重量平均)は30~1000μmが好ましい。より好ましくは、平均粒径(重量平均)が50~500μmの範囲内のガラス原料粒子が使用され、さらに70~300μmの範囲内のガラス原料粒子が好ましい。ガラス原料粒子が溶融した液状ガラス粒子(a)の平均粒径(重量平均)は、通常ガラス原料粒子の平均粒径の80%程度となることが多い。
液状ガラス粒子(b)は、ガラス融液Gの表面に達する前にその2つ以上が融着し、融着した液状ガラス粒子(b)がガラス融液Gに着地してもよい。液状ガラス粒子(b)が比較的大きい粒子であることより、落下中の液状ガラス粒子(b)は相互に接触しやすく、複数の液状ガラス粒子(b)が接触した場合には融着してさらに大きな液状ガラスの粒子や塊状物となることがある。さらには多数の液状ガラス粒子(b)が一体化した液体の流れとなってガラス融液Gに達することもある。1つのガラスカレット片投入筒36から投入される単位時間あたりのガラスカレット片42の量が多くなると、このような液状ガラス粒子(b)の融着が起こりやすい。
なお、各酸素燃焼バーナ38、38…の火炎方向の角度も、図2に示した角度(θ)と同一である。
なお、2009年6月29日に出願された日本特許出願2009-154026号の明細書、特許請求の範囲、図面及び要約書の全内容をここに引用し、本発明の明細書の開示として、取り入れるものである。
