Abstract

A practical guide for glass makers for the assessment of limestones and dolomites intended for both those with their own laboratory facilities and those sampling these carbonate materials for subsequent assessment by an outsourced laboratory. Guidance is offered for soda–lime–silica glass making with the intention of providing a basis for the assessment of both the continued supply of established limestones and dolomites and the evaluation of new sources of these carbonate materials. Part 1 addresses sampling for subsequent instrumental analysis such as XRF and ICP-OES, wet chemical analytical methods plus physical testing; including the determination of moisture, particle size analysis and inspection for contamination.
