Abstract

In this work, the glass samples were prepared from the rice husk ash (RHA) with different PbO concentrations by melt-quenching technique. The effect of PbO on the physical and optical properties of the glasses from RHA have been studied. The results showed that the refractive index and density increased with increasing PbO concentration. The absorption spectra of all samples showed the cut-off wavelength approximately at 360 nm. For comparison, similar properties of SiO2 glass doped with different PbO concentrations were also studied. It was found that the RHA is possible to be used as a raw material in the glass production.
