A Collection of Papers Presented at the 61st Conference on Glass Problems: Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceedings, Volume

This volume is part of the Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceeding  (CESP) series.  This series contains a collection of papers dealing with issues in both traditional ceramics (i.e., glass, whitewares, refractories, and porcelain enamel) and advanced ceramics. Topics covered in the area of advanced ceramic include bioceramics, nanomaterials, composites, solid oxide fuel cells, mechanical properties and structural design, advanced ceramic coatings, ceramic armor, porous ceramics, and more.Content: Chapter 1 Validation of Glass Furnace Models: Believe it or Not (pages 1–19): Erik Muysenberg and Josef ChmelarChapter 2 Application of the Fining Shelf to Furnace Melting Technology (pages 21–26): Ruediger NebelChapter 3 Recycling of TV Glass: Profits or Doom?
