Trials on melting soda-lime glasses in an electric furnace producing 0.5-1.5 tonnes/day have shown additions of a refining/oxidising agent must be made to compensate for the reducing effect of molybdenum from the electrodes dissolved in the glass. The concentration of SO3 in the glass depends on the amount of ceria or arsenic added.
