Dear Edouard,
Literature research is as much as I can do. Wish I could read technical =
German. There is a wealth of information to be had by folk familiar with =
that language.
One such source might be H. Jebson-Marwedel, " "Glastechnische =
Fabrikationfehler ". Springer. 1969, pp 113-178.
We tend not to realise that many gases such as Oxygen, Nitrogen, =
Chlorine and Hydrogen are diatomic and may be able to remain in solution =
in a melt in what might be termed massive amounts, like several =
percents.
I came to the conclusion more than twenty years ago when studying Salt =
Glaze Processes that the much favoured "Orange Peel" effect was due to =
the evolution of elemental Chlorine from the melt after observing a =
transparent yellow green gas emerging from the flue of my saltglaze test =
kiln at the end of a firing.
Best regards,
Ivor
