METHODS FOR THE REMOVAL AND/OR PREVENTION OF BUILD-UP OF SLAG AND COMPOSITION FOR USE IN SAID METHODS

摘要

Use of borax in the removal of and/or to prevent the build-up of slag on heat transfer surfaces in glass manufacture and allied industries. The borax may be used in association with a minor amount of a transition metal acetylacetonate. The borax is preferably applied directly onto the heat recuperator tubes.
