The effect of mechanical activation of glass batch on the glassmaking process and on the mechanical strength of glass is studied. It is shown that dry-grinding of the batch to specific surface area 1.1 m2/g decreases the silicate and glass formation temperatures by 100 – 150 °C. Mechanical activation of glass batch more than doubles the strength of glass.
