ABSTRACT:
A process is provided for melting glass forming ingredients by supplying all, or at least part, of the total heat required for such melting from the combustion of a combustible fuel which is an admixture of particulate coal and oil. The melting operating can be accomplished without any difficulty of temperature control and with no adverse effects on the quality or composition of the final glass. Excellent results are obtained employing, for example, a combustible fuel mixture of about 40% by weight of particulate coal having a particle size less than about 200 mesh and about 60% by weight of Number 2 fuel oil.
