“…These findings align with those of previous studies that have confirmed the technical and economic feasibility of using microwave ovens for industrial-scale, high-temperature processes [39,40]. The reduced sintering time not only optimizes the manufacturing process of glass foams but also enhances the sintering quality and the overall technological characteristics of the product [64].…”

Climate change is characterized by shifts in temperature and climate patterns. Constructing new high-rise environments using materials that incorporate agro-industrial waste can help mitigate this impact without compromising technological properties. This study produced vitreous foams intended to replace natural aggregates in lightweight concrete partially. These foams were sintered in a microwave oven at temperatures of 750 °C, 800 °C, and 850 °C, utilizing glass powder and sugarcane bagasse ash as raw materials. The homogenization and preparation of these materials were conducted through a mechanical pelletization process, employing a constant rotation engine at approximately 40 rpm. The efficacy of microwave sintering was assessed by comparing the outcomes with those from sintering in a conventional electric muffle furnace under identical conditions. The results indicated that the microwave-sintered vitreous foams exhibited the following values for apparent density (≤0.30 g/cm³), porosity (86% to 94%), and compressive strength (0.48 MPa to 0.58 MPa), which align with the global standards for commercial vitreous foams. The microwave sintering route proved to be economically feasible by reducing sintering time and, consequently, energy costs, without sacrificing technological properties. The materials produced in this study offer a promising solution to minimize the environmental impact associated with constructing new buildings, particularly tall structures. Additionally, they support the circular economy by converting waste into valuable by-products.
