Abstract:Glass ceramic was produced by replacing the major glass forming materials, silica and calcium oxide, with derivates from rice husk and periwinkle shells respectively. Glass formulation comprising of silica extracted from the rice husk and calcium oxide from powdered calcined periwinkle shells were compounded with analytical grade sodium carbonate. Silica was extracted from rice husk and characterized using XRD. SEM/EDS of the periwinkle shell revealed a structure dominated by calcium and oxygen; however, there… Show more
