ABSTRACT:
Glass batch agglomerates are formed, fed to a vertical bed preheat hopper, dried and preheated with furnace exhaust gases, and then fed to a glass melting furnace. The green pellets may spall if the batch particle size distribution results in a pellet with insufficient pore volume to degas effectively. By employing clay having a coarse particle size in the glass batch agglomerates, spalling and stack emissions are reduced during drying and preheating.
