On-line redox sensors in industrial glass melting tanks
conference paper
On-line redox measurement can be carried out relatively easily at reasonable costs, using a small ceramic-based sensor in combination with a water-cooled lance. Results have shown that the use of a feeder sensor may already considerably improve the stability of the glass melt redox, compared to the presently common method of corrective measures after the daily spectroscopic iron ratio determination. Moreover, it was shown that a lot can be learned about the transfer function characteristics of the furnace from a simultaneous measurement using both a batch and a feeder redox sensor.
