How is the raw material for glass extracted and purified?

Answer 1

Clean quartz sand predominates, modified by soda ash to lower the melting point.

[For crystal glass, lead is added to improve the mass and alter the tone of the crystal. And as it is softer, it is easy to inscribe (cut) without breaking.]

Answer 2

The raw materials for glass, like sand, soda ash, and limestone, are extracted from quarries or mines. These materials are then crushed, washed, and processed to remove impurities. Purification processes involve chemical reactions and high-temperature treatments to obtain the desired quality for glass production.

Answer 3
