A process for making a glass product with reduced greenhouse gas emission, comprising: providing a raw material composition comprising at least one silicon dioxide or silicon dioxide-containing compound and at least one pre-reacted compound, wherein the pre-reacted compound comprises an atom of an alkaline earth metal chemically bonded to an oxygen atom, and a silicon atom chemically bonded to the oxygen atom; melting the raw material composition to produce a molten material; and forming the molten material into a glass product.

Composition and method of making a glass product with reduced greenhouse gas emission

The subject invention is directed to a method for producing a raw material or materials that can be used by themselves or in combination with other ingredients to make glass of high quality at high efficiencies and short production times. The raw materials are capable of high reactivity in a glass melting furnace and therefore will allow glass to be produced either at lower temperatures or shorter residence times at the same temperatures as compared with known methods.

Method for producing reactive raw material for manufacture of glass suitable fiberization

An effective process for removing organic coatings and binders from glass fiber surfaces in a manner that is both environmentally friendly and does not comprise the integrity or physical properties of the fiber.
