Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to salt bath systems for strengthening glass articles including a salt bath tank defining a first interior volume enclosed by at least one sidewall; a salt bath composition including an alkali metal salt positioned within the first interior volume; a containment device defining a second interior volume enclosed by at least one sidewall and including a regeneration medium positioned within the second interior volume; and a circulation device positioned proximate to an inlet of the containment device, wherein the circulation device is operable to circulate the salt bath composition through the containment device. Methods for regenerating a molten salt are also disclosed.
