ABSTRACT:
A continuous cellular glass manufacturing method is described. A mixture of ground glass and of one or more substances, such as coal dust, coke dust, graphite dust, one or more powdery and/or liquid and/or diluted hydrocarbons, one or more powdery and/or liquid and/or diluted carbohydrates, one or more hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives, one or more powdery and/or diluted carbonates, fine natural earth, ground natural stones, ground ceramics, cement, one or more powdery and/or dissolved soluble glass substances, water and other similar substances, is partly or totally solidified by drying and/or by reaction, letting it stand for at least 10 minutes. The mixture thus solidified is granulated and the glassy mass so obtained is distributed over a refractory wire conveyor belt or of refractory sheet, after spreading a separating substance in the conveyor belt which prevents the glassy mass from sticking to the conveyor belt. The vitreous mass is then transported by the conveyor belt through a furnace in which the vitreous mass melts, expands and partially or totally cools.
