Foam Glass Based on Russian Far East Raw Materials and its Use in Mechanical Engineering

Abstract

The necessity of developing a technology for the synthesis of foam glass based on Russian Far East local raw materials is substantiated for its use as thermal insulation of oil pipelines. A powder technology using the hydrate method was developed for the production of foam glass based on diatomite from the Chernoyarskoe deposit. The results of experimental studies of the synthesized foam glass properties were presented. The effectiveness of its use as thermal insulation of oil pipelines in harsh climatic conditions of the Russian Far East was proved.
