연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

Certain preferred embodiments of the present invention provide a system for and method of analyzing and cleaning a cullet stream prior to bottle manufacturing. In accordance with certain aspects of the present invention, the system includes a raw materials feeder, a mixing stage, a melting stage, a bottle-forming stage, a cooling/annealing stage, an inspection stage, and a batch controller. The raw materials feeder further includes a cullet bin within which is cullet supply, a feeder, an analysis device, and removal assembly. Certain preferred embodiments of the method include the steps of feeding cullet onto the conveyor, performing real-time composition analysis of the cullet, removing contaminants from the cullet, determining whether the cullet batch is consistent with a predetermined tolerance threshold, adjusting the glass batch formulation, sending the batch ingredients to the mixing stage, and then completing the overall glass manufacturing process.

What is claimed: 1. A method of creating recycled glass products comprising: providing a supply of mixed-color glass cullet to a conveyor; determining constituents of said glass cullet as it moves along said conveyor, prior to providing said glass cullet to a mixer; comparing the determined composition of said glass cullet constituents to a desired tolerance threshold; if the composition of the determined glass cullet constituents exceeds said desired tolerance threshold, adjusting, in real-time, a glass batch formulation based on at least the determined glass cullet constituents; mixing the glass cullet with raw materials in said mixer including any additional raw materials provided in accordance with said adjusted said glass batch formulation; and producing at least one recycled glass product from said adjusted glass batch formulation. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising selectively diverting at least one of said constituents from said conveyor which do not satisfy said tolerance threshold prior to mixing. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein said diverting is performed by an air jet device. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein determining constituents comprises analyzing with a device capable of measuring at least one of composition and color of said glass cullet. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein said device comprises an optical imaging device. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein said device comprises an X-ray spectroscopy device. 7. The method of claim 4, wherein said device comprises at least one of an infra-red and a Raman spectroscopy device. 8. The method of claim 4, wherein said device comprises a device capable of measuring at least one of optical transmission properties and optical reflectivity properties of said glass cullet. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said mixed-color glass cullet comprises at least one of amber, green and flint glass. 10. A method as in claim 1, wherein the tolerance threshold is determined from a specification provided by a cullet supplier. 11. A method as in claim 1, wherein the tolerance threshold is determined from at least one of a preset and a user-determined specification. 12. A method as in claim 1, wherein the determination of constituents of said glass cullet is used as a quality control metric. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein adjusting the glass batch formulation comprises adjusting a predetermined glass batch formulation based on at least said determined glass constituents. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein said recycled glass product is a beer bottle. 15. A glass cullet processing system comprising: a conveyor suitable to convey mixed-color glass cullet; a feeder for feeding a supply of mixed-color glass cullet to said conveyor; an analyzer capable of determining at least one of composition and color of said glass cullet as the glass cullet passes said analyzer on said conveyor; a batch controller that determines, based on at least an output of the analyzer, if a determined composition or determined color of said glass cullet exceeds a desired tolerance threshold for a desired glass composition and, if so, adjusting, in real-time, at least one glass batch formulation based on at least the-output of the analyzer; and a mixer that mixes the glass cullet with raw materials including any additional raw materials provided in accordance with the adjusted glass batch formulation. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the mixed-color glass cullet comprises at least one of amber, green and flint glass. 17. The system of claim 15, further comprising a diverting device that selectively diverts at least one constituent or contaminant of said cullet so as to bring the conveyed glass cullet into compliance with said desired tolerance threshold for said desired glass composition. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein said diverting device is an air jet device. 19. The system of claim 15, wherein said analyzer comprises an optical imaging device. 20.
