    Application of oxygen sensors in industrial glass melting tanks
    (Offenbach : Verlag der Deutschen Glastechnischen Gesellschaft, 1996) Baucke, Friedrich G. K.; Werner, Ralf D.; Müller-Simon, Hayo; Mergler, Kurt Wilhelm
    Α comparative study of electrochemical oxygen sensors for glass melts employing zirconia solid electrolytes developed by Schott Glaswerke and by the HVG is reported. The sensors applied in a feeder Channel of a melting tank producing green glass yielded slightly different but reproducible results despite different constructions. The zirconia reference electrodes achieved more than one year active lifetime at 1200°C. Their potentials directly compared over extended periods agreed within less than 3 mV. The potential differences of the platinum measuring electrodes were traced to temperature gradients. Newly installed platinum electrodes show "induction periods" caused by convectional and diffusional equilibration of adhering surface with bulk melt. Unexpected sudden oxygen inhomogeneities of the melt were detected and explained.

    Cathodic electrochemical protection of molybdenum electrodes in an all-electric melter
    (Offenbach : Verlag der Deutschen Glastechnischen Gesellschaft, 1998) Fleischmann, Bernhard; Mergler, Kurt Wilhelm
    During several research programmes the cathodic protection of molybdenum heating electrodes was tested step by step on an allelectric glass melting furnace over eight years. Starting with one pair at least, all 12 heating electrodes were superimposed with a negative direct voltage to reduce the corrosion of molybdenum. The molybdenum release of the electrodes could nearly be halved at the used furnace and with the glass melted. The molybdenum content of the glass was determined to compare the unprotected and the protected State, respectively, and to confirm the success of the cathodic protection.

    On-line determination of the iron concentration in industrial amber glass melts
    (Offenbach : Verlag der Deutschen Glastechnischen Gesellschaft, 1995) Müller-Simon, Hayo; Mergler, Kurt Wilhelm
    A sensor has been developed in order to measure the concentration of polyvalent elements on-hne in industrial glass melts. The sensor has been tested on iron in an amber glass melt. A method has been developed in order to determine the area of the measuring electrode, which can change due to glass level variation. The accuracy of the iron determination by means of the voltammetric sensor has been found half the accuracy of x-ray fluorescence analysis.
