Comparison of the average life of soda lime glass tanks melting green glass and those melting flint glass in which selenium is used as a decolorizer, where the same or similar batch and operating conditions obtain in both cases, shows that the life of the selenium flint tanks is invariably much shorter than that of the green tanks. This shortening of tank life is independent of the amount of selenium used or the form in which it is used but varies with the amount of arsenic used in conjunction with the selenium.
