Abstract:
1. An apparatus for performing a process of producing glass so that reduction of reduction-sensitive components is avoided or reduced, said apparatus comprising a metallic skull crucible comprising a melt crucible ( wherein the melt crucible and the fining vessel each comprise walls which are cooled by a cooling agent and which are provided with high-frequency permeable slits; means for heating the glass melt in the melt crucible and the glass melt in the fining vessel inductively with a high-frequency electromagnetic alternating field; means for conducting at least one oxidizing agent into the fining vessel, so that the at least one oxidizing agent is introduced into the glass melt in the fining vessel when the process of producing glass is performed; and means for conducting at least one oxidizing substance into the melt crucible so that said at least one oxidizing substance is introduced into the glass melt in the melt crucible when the process of producing glass is performed.
