Influence of the Color of Bottle Glass Waste on the Characteristics of Foam Glass Produced in Microwave Field

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
The paper presents the latest experimental results obtained by a team of researchers from the Romanian company Daily Sourcing & Research in the field of manufacturing foam glass using the microwave energy. Simulating the working conditions of a tunnel oven with a conveyor belt powered with microwaves, the experiments aimed to determine the influence of the mixture composition of different types of bottle glass waste (colorless, amber and green) on the physical, mechanical and morphological characteristics of foam glasses. The results highlighted that, in a mixture with a small quantity of calcium carbonate as foaming agent, the simultaneous use of the usual weight proportions of the main recycled glass wastes (colorless, amber and green) allows to obtain suitable characteristics of glass foams for using as thermal insulator in construction (apparent density: 0.29 – 0.31 g/ cm3, thermal conductivity: 0.044 – 0.047 W/ m·K, compressive strength: 1.2 MPa, water absorption: 2.9 – 3.2%).
