Abstract

Arsenic trioxide (As2O3) is widely used as refining agent for the production of lead glasses /1/. Because of its toxicity there were attempts to reduce its consumption, which have been successful mainly due to an increasing number of electric melters. The As2O3 consumption within the glass industry of the Federal Republic of Germany decreased from about 300 t/a in 1981 to 145 t/a in 1985 /2/. But it was also shown that a complete renunciation of As2O3 is not possible up to now /3/. The possible substitution of As2O3 by Sb2O3 is not recommendable for toxicological and environmental as well as for economical reasons.
