Glass
Industry
- Glass in
the common sense refers to a hard, brittle, transparent, solid,
such as that used for windows, many bottles, or eyewear,
including, but not limited to, soda-lime glass, borosilicate
glass, acrylic glass, sugar glass, isinglass or aluminium
oxynitride.
- The most
costly and energy-intensive step in glass production is the
melting and refining of raw materials to produce a homogenous,
contaminant-free molten bath that is the basis of all glass
products.
- The most
important fuels for glass-melting furnaces are natural gas,
light and heavy fuel oil, and liquefied petroleum gas.
- The
manufacturing process requires raw materials, such as sand,
limestone, soda ash, and cullet (scrap and recycled glass), be
fed into a furnace where a temperature is maintained in the
2,700°F to 3,100°F range.
- Glass
products are used in food and beverage packaging, lighting,
communications, transportation, and building construction.
- The glass
industry looks optimistically towards a bright future.
- The glass
industry has learned that successful technology development
benefits from a coordinated strategy that engages key suppliers,
manufacturers, and customers in accomplishing mutual technology
goals.
- The U.S.
glass industry is a world leader in the production of flat,
fiber, container, and specialty glass products.
Ceramic Industry
-
Ceramics are defined as a class of inorganic, nonmetallic
solids that are subjected to high temperature in manufacture
and/or use.
-
Ceramic materials are usually ionic or covalent bonded
materials, and can be crystalline or amorphous.
- In
general, most ceramics are: hard, wear-resistant, brittle,
refractory, thermal insulators, electrical insulators,
oxidation resistant, prone to thermal shock, and chemically
stable.
- The
basic beneficiation processes include comminution,
purification, sizing, classification, calcining, liquid
dispersion, and granulation.
- With
the growth in the housing sector the demand of ceramic is
expected to increase. Indian tiles are competitive in the
international market.
- India
ranks 7th in the world in term of production of ceramic
tiles and produced 200 million sq. meters of ceramic tiles,
out of a global production of 6400 million sq. meters during
2003-04.
