Abstract

There is a huge raw material base for the production of foam glass. The aim of the work was to develop a technology for producing foam glass from cullet and industrial waste. Glass makes about 5% of municipal waste. Calcium carbonate which is the waste of ANP fertilizer production can be used as a foaming agent. The research task was to obtain effective heat-insulating and structural and heat insulating material with the corresponding physical and mechanical characteristics for low-rise and high-rise construction. The analysis of existing approaches to the production of foam glass was carried out in the course of the work, laboratory study of various mixtures composition was held and optimal mixtures of cullet and a foaming agent were proposed. Experiments showed that the density of foam glass made from different kinds of glass differs by up to 15%, which makes it possible to dispense with the expensive operation of sorting cullet.
