abstract = {The failoring of raw materials is driven by the intention
to increase the conversion rate of those to a glass melt. In
the current work the development rests on an earlier finding
by Niggli 1913, and on the observation that the entire
amount of limestone and dolomite in a batch can be liquefied
by a reaction with soda ash to a salt-like low-viscosity
melt below 950 °C. The optimized carbonate can be realized
in different ways, e.g., by introducing double carbonate as
a novel raw material from the start, or by segmented
batching strategies. The new raw material is manufactured by
melting sodium carbonate and limestone. This generated
double carbonate is characterized thermodynamically newly
and kinetically. First, with the help of data out of
literature, the exothermal formation of the double carbonate
could be verified. As another result of the thermodynamical
analysis, it can be shown that for the production of 1 t of
glass for a reference batch as well as for a batch including
the double carbonate the specific heat Hex is about 610 ± 3
kWh/t. The ± is based on the uncertainties of the
calculation of the enthalpy of formation for the different
raw materials. Particularly the H° of a natural Dolomite,
which is used in the reference batch not in the batch with
double carbonate, can deviate ± 1-2 $\%.$ Another
interesting question is the rate determining mechanism of
this accelerated batch melting, which can be identified with
measurement to get the reaction order of the CO2-release of
the double carbonate as about ~1. The formation of the
double carbonate is an exothermic reaction. In comparison
the conversion of a conventional limestone is faster than a
double carbonate, but the limestone decomposes to calcium
oxide, which constrains the following reactions. However,
the double carbonate reacts to a salt-like carbonate melt.
The conversion to a salt-like melt needs a few seconds more
of time, but in general the reaction with the other raw
materials to a glass melt is accelerated. The double
carbonate is characterized by using X-ray diffraction and is
then tested in a batch by using an up-scaling method from mg
to kg range. A significant acceleration is seen at scales
stretching from the grain-to-grain to the 10 kg range. As a
result it can be reported that a significant increase of the
conversion rate can be realized. Therefore a batch with
double carbonate melts about 60 K lower than a batch of
conventional raw materials, and within 10 $\%$ less time.},
