    摘要: A computer implemented method (3000) for measuring the thickness, e, of a batch (2005) of materials floating on a pool (2006) of melt in an electric glass or stone melting furnace (1002). The method takes, as input data, a set (I3000) of timescale temperature maps, M[T] of the batch (2005) of materials, a range, R[Ts] of expected values for the stationary temperature, Ts, of the batch (2005), and a threshold value, σ, for the variation of temperature, ΔT, over time, Δt. The method provides, as output data, the spatial distribution (03000) of thicknesses of the batch (2005) over the surface thereof.

    摘要: Glass melting process, comprising: the introduction of a vitrifiable solid charge (11) into a furnace (1), the heating and the melting of the charge (11) in the furnace (1), so as to obtain molten glass (17), the discharge of the molten glass (17) from the furnace (1) and the discharge of a CO 2 -containing gaseous effluent (20) from the furnace (1), the charge (11) comprising at least one carbonate undergoing a dissociation reaction and releasing gaseous CO 2 (18) when the charge (11) is heated and melted, the gaseous effluent (20) discharged from the furnace (1) being used to produce, by carbonation with the CO 2 present in the gaseous effluent (20), at least one additive (33) in the form of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carbonate, at least a part of which is incorporated in the charge (11) which is introduced into the furnace (1), the heat for heating the charge (11) in stage b. being provided by:
    • by electric heating,
    • by combustion of a non-carbon-based fuel (12) with an oxidant (13), optionally in combination with electric heating, or
    • both by combustion of a non-carbon-based fuel (12) with an oxidant (13) and by combustion of a carbon-based fuel with an oxidant, optionally in combination with electric heating.
