Values for the physical solubility of nitrogen as well as for the content of chemically dissolved nitrogen in glass melts are given. The form in which the nitrogen is present in the glass melts is discussed and an attempt is made to explain chemical interaction between nitrogen and the glass melt. The dependence of the amount of physically or chemically absorbed nitrogen on the nature of the furnace atmosphere is shown. The results offer an explanation for the presence of nitrogen often observed in bubbles of commercial glasses.
