Every day we use glass objects in everyday life. For food storage, for table setting, for interior organization, in the production of transport, machinery, etc., etc.

The use of glass is limitless. Let’s tell you a couple of interesting facts about glass.

Few people know what glass is made of. But it consists of 70% quartz sand, the other components are soda and lime. The amount of lime additives depends on the gloss and resistance to chemical influences.

Do you know how many years glass decomposes? A very long time, a million years! Therefore, it is better to give it for recycling.

Glass is 100% recyclable material.

The production of products from recycled glass is 40% cheaper than if it is made from 0. At the same time, the quality of the products will not be affected.

But air pollution will significantly decrease by about 20% and water pollution by about 50%.

It is no less interesting that colored glass is made with the help of additives of various chemical compounds. For example, uranium oxide will give the glass a yellow color. And nickel will turn purple and brown. It all depends on the concentration of additives.

And brown glass is used in the manufacture of bottles to protect the contents from ultraviolet light.

Unbreakable glass was invented by Eduard Benedictus accidentally in the laboratory where he conducted experiments. Dropping the flask on the floor, he noticed that it did not shatter into small fragments, but only cracked, all because of the remaining film of nitrocellulose on the walls of the vessel.

This method of strengthening glass is still used today, for example, in the manufacture of windshields. Which significantly reduces the risk of injury from glass fragments in accidents.

The Sydney Aquarium has the thickest glass! Its thickness is 26cm. and the dimensions are 7 by 4 meters.

Todos los días usamos objetos de vidrio en la vida cotidiana. Para el almacenamiento de alimentos, para el ajuste de la mesa, para la organización interior, en la producción de transporte, maquinaria, etc., sucesivamente.

El uso del vidrio es ilimitado. Vamos a contarte un par de datos interesantes sobre el vidrio.

Pocas personas saben de qué está hecho el vidrio. Pero se compone de 70% de arena de cuarzo, los otros componentes son soda y cal. La cantidad de aditivos de cal depende del brillo y la resistencia a las influencias químicas.

¿Sabes cuántos años se descompone el vidrio? ¡Mucho tiempo, un millón de años! Por lo tanto, es mejor darlo para el reciclaje.

El vidrio es un material 100% reciclable.

La producción de productos a partir de vidrio reciclado es un 40% más barata que si está hecha de 0. Al mismo tiempo, la calidad de los productos no se verá afectada.

Pero la contaminación del aire disminuirá significativamente en aproximadamente un 20% y la contaminación del agua en aproximadamente un 50%.

No es menos interesante que el vidrio de color se hace con la ayuda de aditivos de diversos compuestos químicos. Por ejemplo, el óxido de uranio le dará al vidrio un color amarillo. Y el níquel se volverá púrpura y marrón. Todo depende de la concentración de aditivos.

Y el vidrio marrón se utiliza en la fabricación de botellas para proteger el contenido de la luz ultravioleta.

El vidrio irrompible fue inventado por Eduard Benedictus accidentalmente en el laboratorio donde realizó experimentos. Dejando caer el frasco en el suelo, se dio cuenta de que no se rompía en pequeños fragmentos, sino que solo se agrietaba, todo debido a la película de nitrocelulosa restante en las paredes del recipiente.

Este método de refuerzo de vidrio todavía se utiliza hoy en día, por ejemplo, en la fabricación de parabrisas. Lo que reduce significativamente el riesgo de lesiones por fragmentos de vidrio en accidentes.
