Since the float glass produced by oxy-fuel combustion technology contains higher structural water than that produced by air-fuel combustion, 'bloom phenomenon' is a serious issue. In order to study the effect of water in the glass on the tin penetration, glass with different water contents was lab-prepared and the glass forming process was simulated by floating glass melt on the surface of liquid tin. Water content in glass was determined by Fourier translation infrared. The penetrated amount of tin and its distribution in glass were analysed by X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and Electron Probe MicroAnalyer (wavelength Dispersive Spectrometer). The results showed that the water content in glass strongly depended on the moisture concentration in the melting atmosphere. Meanwhile, it was found that both the penetrated amount of tin and the penetration depth in glass were related to the water content in glass. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
