Ingilazi idlala indima ebalulekile empilweni yomuntu

Ingilazi iyinto eqinile engaguquki, evame ukwakheka ngokuncibilikisa ama-silicates (njenge-silica) namanye ama-oxide (njenge-sodium oxide, i-calcium oxide, njll.) emazingeni okushisa aphezulu bese ipholisa ngokushesha. Ngenxa yokucaca kwayo, ubulukhuni, ukuqina kwamakhemikhali, kanye nokuguquguquka, ingilazi isetshenziswa kabanzi empilweni yansuku zonke kanye nasezimbonini ezahlukahlukene.

Umlando Wengilazi
Umlando wengilazi uqala cishe ngo-3500 BC empucukweni yaseMesopotamiya. Imikhiqizo yengilazi yokuqala cishe yayenziwe ngengilazi yemvelo, njenge-obsidian. AbaseGibhithe lasendulo kanye namaFenike bathuthukisa amasu okwenza ingilazi, bakha ingilazi enemibala kanye nezitsha zengilazi. Ngesikhathi soMbuso WaseRoma, ubuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza ingilazi bathuthuka kakhulu, futhi Amafasitela Engilazi futhi izitsha zanda kakhulu.

Ukukhiqiza Ingilazi
Ukukhiqiza ingilazi yesimanje kusebenzisa kakhulu Ingilazi Entantayo inqubo, eyasungulwa yinkampani yaseBrithani iPilkington ngawo-1950. Izinyathelo yilezi ezilandelayo:
1. **Ukuxuba Izinto Ezingavuthiwe**: I-Silica, i-soda ash, i-limestone, nezinye izinto zokusetshenziswa zixutshwa ngezilinganiso ezithile.
2. **Ukuncibilika Okuphezulu**: Ingxube iyancibilika cishe ku-1500°C.
3. **Ukwakheka Kokuntanta**: Ingilazi encibilikisiwe ithululelwa ebhavini lethini elincibilikisiwe, lapho isakazeka khona bese iphola, yakha iribhoni yengilazi ebushelelezi.
4. **Ukufaka**: Iribhoni yengilazi idlula ku-lehr yokunamathisela ukuze iphole kancane kancane futhi inciphise ukucindezeleka kwangaphakathi.
5. **Ukusika Nokucubungula**: Iribhoni yengilazi epholile iyasikwa ibe nobukhulu obufunwayo bese icutshungulwa ngokwengeziwe.

Izinhlobo Zengilazi
1. **Ingilazi yeSoda-Lime**: Uhlobo oluvame kakhulu, olusetshenziselwa amafasitela, amabhodlela, kanye nezitsha.
2. **Ingilazi Enomoya Omnene**: Uma iqiniswa ngokwelashwa ngokushisa, iyaphuka ibe ama-granule amancane uma iphukile, okwenza kube okuphephile kumafasitela ezimoto nezakhiwo.
3. **Ingilazi Elaminethiwe**: Yakhiwe ngezingqimba ezimbili noma ngaphezulu zengilazi enengqimba ye-PVB, evimbela ukuphahlazeka lapho ishayisana, esetshenziswa engilazini engangenwa yizinhlamvu kanye nasezindaweni zomoya zezimoto.
4. **Ingilazi ye-Borosilicate**: Imelana namazinga okushisa aphezulu kanye nokugqwala kwamakhemikhali, isetshenziswa ezitsheni zelebhu kanye nasezitsheni zokupheka ezingashisi.
5. **Ingilazi Ebonakalayo**: Ukukhanya okuphezulu kanye nokufana, okusetshenziswa kumalensi kanye nezinsimbi zokukhanya.
6. **Ingilazi Enombala**: Ifakwe umbala ngokufaka ama-metal oxide, asetshenziselwa ukuhlobisa nobuciko.

Ukusetshenziswa kwe-Glass
1. **Ukwakha**: Kusetshenziswa emafasiteleni, ezindongeni zamakhethini, nasezindaweni zokuhlukanisa ukuze kukhanye futhi kufakwe ugesi.
2. **Ukupakishwa**: Kusetshenziselwa amabhodlela, amabhodlela, nezinye izitsha ngenxa yokuqina kwamakhemikhali kanye nokusebenziseka kabusha kwawo.
3. **Izinto Zasekhaya**: Zisetshenziswa ezibukweni, ezitsheni zokudla, nasezintweni zokuhlobisa.
4. **Izimoto**: Zisetshenziswa ezibukweni zangemuva, emafasiteleni nasezibukweni.
5. **Izinto ze-elekthronikhi**: Zisetshenziswa ezikrinini ze-smartphone, ezikrinini ze-TV, kanye nasezintweni ezisebenzisa i-optical fibers.
6. **Ezokwelapha**: Kusetshenziswa ezitsheni zelebhu kanye namadivayisi ezokwelapha.

Ukuvuselela Ingilazi
Ingilazi iyinto ephinde isetshenziswe engancibilikiswa futhi isetshenziswe kabusha ukukhiqiza imikhiqizo emisha, ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwemithombo kanye nokungcoliswa kwemvelo. Inqubo yokuphinda isetshenziswe ihlanganisa ukuqoqwa, ukuhlunga, ukuhlanza, kanye nokuncibilikisa.

Ikusasa Lengilazi
Ngokuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe, ukusetshenziswa kwengilazi kuyaqhubeka nokukhula. Isibonelo, ingilazi ehlakaniphile ingashintsha ukucaca kwayo ngokulawula kukagesi, inikeze ubumfihlo kanye nokusebenza kahle kwamandla. Ingilazi ezihlanzayo isebenzisa i-photocatalysis ukubola ukungcola okungaphezulu, okunciphisa isidingo sokuhlanza.

Isiphetho
Njengento eguquguqukayo, ingilazi idlala indima ebalulekile empilweni yomuntu. Ngokuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe okuqhubekayo, izakhiwo kanye nokusetshenziswa kwengilazi kuzoqhubeka nokukhula, okuletha ukulula kanye nokusungula izinto ezintsha empilweni yesikhathi esizayo.
