Abstract

The results of studies of porous structure formation in a granular glass mixture are presented. Raw mixes were prepared from glass cullet, waste of magnetite ores dressing and liquid glass. The reason for adding of magnetite ores waste to the glass mixture was the information on chemical and mineral composition, results of studies of thermal transformations of waste. The rationale for adding of 20 – 30% of magnetite ores waste into the raw mix is confirmed by lowering the bloating temperature and increasing granules porosity. The effect of pyrite mineral on structural transformations in a glass mixture has been studied for the first time. It was revealed that the presence of pyrite up to 10% in the glass mixture intensifies swelling at lower temperatures. A method for preparing a molding mixture is proposed, which ensures the formation of highly porous granules with equal distribution of cells in the structure. The method involves mechanical activation of mixture of glass cullet and magnetite ores waste by grinding in a vibratory mill and subsequent portion-wise introduction of the activated mixture into liquid glass. A complex of technological methods allows obtaining porous granules with a packed density of 300 kg/m3 at a temperature of 825°C.

Summary

Introduction

Porous granular material is basis for composites with heat-shielding properties. Production process for granulated foam glass [1 – 9], highly porous granular materials based on thermal swelling of liquid glass [10 – 13] are actively being developed. For implementation of thermal swelling of granules there are used gas-forming processes in components of the raw mass or special additives can be added. One of the obstacles to widespread production of foam glass is a shortage of raw materials. That is why resource-saving technologies for production of porous granules based on glass cullet are preferred. Glass cullet is represented by fragments of container and sheet glass. To regulate the material composition of the raw mix and granules porosity, additives are added into the glass cullet [14 – 19]
