Abstract
The glass bottle sare widely used as the container of drinks, foods, chemicals and medicines by characteristics of sealing up, storage stability and transparency. After use, many of these glass containers are mechanically crushed and melted in the recycling process. Authors paid attention to the crushing process in this glass recycle and propose a new effective crushing technique by using underwater shock–wave. This proposed technique is excellent in generation equipment, processing time and cost, etc. compared with conventional mechanical method. The crushing energy is supplied with the explosive. The crushing experiments by underwater shock-wave were executed and the effects of the distance between specimen and explosive, the quantity of explosive, explosive setting positions etc. has been discussed. In this study, the glass containers crushing process by using underwater shock-wave was observed with high-speed video camera. The behaviors of the shock-waves generated by explosive energy and the fracture process of glass bottle were visualized.
