Glass-ceramics in a dense and highly porous form can be obtained from metallurgical slag and waste glass of TV monitors. Using polyurethane foam as pore creator, a highly porous system with porosity of 65 ± 5 %, E-modulus and flexural strength of 8 ± 3 GPa and 13 ± 3.5 MPa respectively can be obtained. This porous material had durability (mass loss) of 0.03 % in 0.1 M HCl that is identical with the durability of a dense composite
Glass-ceramics were produced utilizing fly-ash from coal power stations and waste glass of TV monitors, windows and flask glass. The powder technology route was employed. The mixture of 50% fly ash and 50% waste TV glass increases the bending strength from 12±1 to 56±4 MPa and E-modulus from 6±1 to 26±3 GPa. Using polyurethane foam and C-fibers as pore creators porosity of 70±4 and 55±5 %, respectively, can be obtained-modulus and bending strength of the porous systems obtained by polyurethane foam and C-fibers was 2.7±0.5 GPa and 4.5±1 MPa and 7.1±1 GPa and 9.3±2 MPa respectively
Glass-ceramics composites were produced based on fly-ash obtained from coal power stations, metallurgical slag from ferronickel industry and waste glass from TV monitors, windows and flasks. Using 50% waste flask glass in combination with fly ash and 20% waste glass from TV screens in combination with slag, E-modulus and bending strength values of the designed systems are increased (system based on fly ash: E-modulus from 6 to 29 GPa, and bending strength from 9 to 75 MPa). The polyurethane foam was used as a pore creator which gave the material porosity of 70(5% (fly ash-glass composite) and a porosity of 65( 5% (slag-glass composite). E-modulus values of the designed porous systems were 3.5(1.2 GPa and 8.1(3 GPa, while the bending strength values were 6.0(2 MPa and 13.2(3.5 MPa, respectively. These materials could be used for the production of tiles, wall bricks, as well as for the construction of air diffusers for waste water aeration
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
