ABSTRACT:
In a method of vacuum refining molten glass or the like, selenium is provided in the molten glass to serve as a foaming agent, which yields improved refining. Alternatively, colored glass compositions that include selenium as a colorant are refined at higher than normal pressures to retain selenium in the glass without sacrificing refining performance.
