Abstract

Porous glasses were prepared by partial sintering of waste glasses. Polyvinyl alcohol was added as a binder to the glass powder and the mixture was un-axially cold pressed under two different forces, followed by sintering at 700 °C. The effects of thermal history, particle size of glass powder, binder content and applied pressing forces on pore size and total porosity of fabricated porous glasses were investigated and final products with the porosity of 15–32 % were prepared. The average pore size of the specimens was determined using mercury porosimetry. The morphology of the porous glasses was observed by scanning electron microscopy. These produced porous glasses can be used for selective and accurate filtration.
