-The bioactive glass 45S5 (Hench glass), having composition 45 SiO2 24.5 Na2O 24.5 CaO -6 P2O5 (wt %) were prepared with substituted Li2O, K2O, ZnO, MgO, and B2O3 by conventional melting process in an electric globar furnace at 1400±10 OC. The Controlled crystallization were carried out to convert the bioglasses to their corresponding bioglass ceramics. Nucleation and crystallization regimes we...

The glass bead making furnace of the Masaga Glass Guild in Bida, Niger State Nigeria was evaluated comparison to those Ghana (Krobo) and India (Firozabad); it discovered that falls short an efficient system for sustainable work should facilitate appreciable productivity. Furthermore, is not built with refractory bricks, implying has a life span; operated by hand-worked traditional cloth bellows...
