On the results of integrated researches of the initial raw material and fenced glass structure with the application of modern physical and chemical methods

Abstract

Studies have been conducted on the structures of the initial raw material and obtained on their basis foam glass of the “aluminosilicate rock –cullet – sodium hydroxide” systems with the use of X-ray and thermal analysis. The interrelation of the prescription-technological parameters and the physical and mechanical properties of the foam glass of the system “cullet – aluminosilicate rock – sodium hydroxide” has been established. Compositions of foam-forming mixtures have been developed, thus making it possible to obtain foam glass with the density from 412 to 1200 kg m−3 and strength from 2.0 to 16.1 MPa.
