PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing high-quality glass by using raw materials having high reactivity and an apparatus for melting glass therefor. SOLUTION: In the method of manufacturing glass by adding glass raw materials to a molten glass in a heated container and melting, (1) an oxidizing gas is bubbled to the molten glass and the glass raw materials, which show reductivity in the melting process, are added into the bubbling position, or (2) a dry atmosphere gas is filled in the container and the atmosphere gas is fed to the surface of molten glass liquid along the path for adding the glass raw materials, and the glass raw materials are added. The apparatus for melting glass in the method is also claimed. |
