METHOD OF PRODUCING SYNTHETIC SILICATES AND USE THEREOF IN GLASS PRODUCTION

摘要

A method is disclosed of producing a calcium silicate precursor material. The method if advantageous in providing material useful in glass making. Such method involves the reaction of calcium oxides and magnesium oxides, water and sodium silicates. The glass formation is performed at a lower temperature than usual and performed with a lower amount of volatile gas release. Less cristobalite formation in the glass occurs.
