Abstract
The use of sheridanite, which is a nonmetallic mineral that contains magnesium chlorite and aluminum oxide, in glassmaking is discussed. Sheridanite can be substituted for feldspars and dolomites to improve melting times and chemical resistance of glasses. The use of sheridanite results in energy saving because it shortens melting time. The diffusion process is accelerated because of the use of an aluminum magnesium silicate that decreases viscosity during the formation of the vitreous mass. This increases final glass quality.
