Final answer:

Potassium carbonate can be used in glass production to create potassium-based glass with distinct properties. Iron compounds in sand can give green glass its color. Two types of furnaces, continuous tank and pot furnaces, are used for industrial glass production.


Explanation:

Potassium carbonate can replace sodium carbonate in glass production, resulting in potassium-based glass. This type of glass may have different properties compared to sodium-based glass.

Iron compounds in the sand used for manufacturing green glass can impart a distinct green color to the glass due to chemical impurities.

Industrially, two types of furnaces used for glass production are continuous tank furnaces for making soda-lime glass and pot furnaces for producing specialty glasses with various compositions and properties.
