Topics to be covered will include:
- Background information will be presented to understand the
general concepts of batching and melting operations. This information is
then used to identify the potential sources of stones.
- The classification of stones as either being primary or secondary will be discussed.
- Analytical techniques involving physical, crystalline, and
compositional characteristics will be presented. Participants will be
given the opportunity to determine these characteristics with sample
stones in laboratory sessions.
- A wide variety of stones will be presented along with the various
identifying characteristics of each stone. The appropriate reactions to
correct the stone problem will also be discussed.
This seminar is designed for those personnel who are responsible
for identifying the composition and source of stones. The seminar
would also be of interest to those responsible for batch and furnace
operations.
