Abstract: A burner for submerged combustion melting that mixes a first gas and a second gas inside the burner and emits the mixed gas through a nozzle for combustion below the surface of the material being melted. The burner includes a hollow tube and a static mixer inside the tube that mixes the first gas and the second gas as they travel through the tube. The mixed first and second gas exits a nozzle on a top end of the tube and is ignited to generate a flame below the surface of the material being melted, which may be a glass material.

Abstract: A method of forming a chalcogenide glass element, the method includes depositing molten chalcogenide glass from an injection tip of a nozzle and into a cavity of a mold at a flow rate, the nozzle being inserted into the cavity, and during the depositing, moving at least one of the nozzle and the cavity relative to each other to substantially fill the cavity with the molten chalcogenide glass, and changing the speed of the at least one of the nozzle and the cavity based upon alignment of the injection tip with a cross-sectional radius of the cavity.

Abstract: A combustion burner employed in a submerged combustion vessel used to melt high index glass includes an arch positioned on a burner in the submerged combustion vessel. An amount of combustible gas flows through a first port disposed in a first haunch of the arch and through a second port disposed in a second haunch of the arch. Fuel is supplied through an end port in a fuel supply line. The end port is disposed under the arch. An amount of glass is fed into the submerged combustion vessel and is melted inside the submerged combustion vessel by igniting the burner. Some of the melted glass at least partially solidifies against a wall of the submerged combustion vessel such that the melted glass is contained in a vessel of itself.

Abstract: A method of melting glass and glass-ceramics that includes the steps: conveying a batch of raw materials into a submerged combustion melting apparatus, the melting apparatus having liquid-cooled walls and a floor; directing a flame into the batch of raw materials and the melted batch with sufficient energy to form the raw materials into the melted batch; and heating a delivery orifice assembly in the floor of the submerged melting apparatus to convey the melted batch through the orifice assembly into a containment vessel. The melted batch has a glass or glass-ceramic composition that is substantially reactive to a refractory material comprising one or more of silica, zirconia, alumina, platinum and platinum alloys.

Abstract: A submerged combustion melter and burner therefor. The burner may include a first tube having a scaled distal end and a second tube concentric to the first tube, the second tube having a partially sealed distal end with an opening for receiving the first tube, where an annular space is defined between the first and second tubes. The burner further includes a first gas port in the sealed distal end of the first tube, the first gas port supplying a first gas, a second gas port in a distal end of the second tube, the second gas port supplying a second gas to the annular space, and a nozzle on the proximate ends of the first and second tubes. The nozzle provides N first gas outlets and M second gas outlets where the N first gas outlets supply either the first or the second gas into a molten glass environment external the burner, and the M second gas outlets supply either the second or the first gas into the molten glass environment external the burner to thereby mix and combust the first and second gases together in the molten glass environment.
