| Abstract |
Industrial container and flat glasses are typically made using sodium carbonate as a source for sodium with the other components being quartz sand and calcite (calcium carbonate). We have investigated the effects of substituting natural and synthetic sodium sulfate for sodium carbonate in a typical soda-lime glass recipe. The principal motivation has been to utilize sodium sulfate and other salts separated from agricultural drainage water in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Two sources of salt were used in the experiments and modeling described here: 1) a natural evaporation pond salt composed of 85% (by weight) of thenardite and minor amounts of blodite, and halite, and 2) a purified sodium sulfate separated from agricultural drainage water using a pilot solar concentration and salt crystallization system. |
