| Abstract: | Influences on the oxidation state of glassmelts can be studied by using an electrochemical oxygen sensor which allows in-situ measurements at melting temperatures. The action of fining agents such as arsenic and sodium sulfate was investigated. The behavior of arsenic (i.e. release and uptake of oxygen) and the decomposition of sodium sulfate with and without carbon additions can be seen electrochemically. |
