Abstract

Foaming process of waste soda lime glasses by just chemical composition control of vitreous feed materials was investigated to find a novel and efficient recycling process. For the chemical composition control of feed materials, 10 wt. parts of $SiO_2$, 0.5 wt. parts of $Na_2SO_4$, 3.0 wt. parts of $B_2O_3$, and 0.3 wt. parts of carbon black as the foaming agent were mixed with 100 wt. parts of soda-lime vitreous feed powder. Proper conditions for foaming process in tunnel kiln are the foaming temperature of $830{\sim}850^{\circ}C$, the foaming time of 30~35 min, and the vitreous feed powder particle size of -325 mesh. Properties of foamed glass blocks obtained under these foaming conditions showed the density of $0.17{\sim}0.21g/cm^3$, thermal conductivity of $0.06{\pm}0.005kcal/h{\cdot}m{\cdot}^{\circ}C$, moisture absorption of 1.1~1.5%, and compressive strength of $20{\sim}30kgf/mm^2$.

소다석회 조성의 폐 병유리를 대상으로 효율적인 재활용방안을 찾기 위해서 발포화에 적절한 조성의 조절을 통해 직접 보온단열재 발포유리블럭을 제조할 수 있는 공정을 조사하였다. 폐 병유리의 직접 발포화를 위해 첨가되는 성분 및 조성은, 폐 유리분말 100중량부에 대하여 $SiO_2$ 10중량부, $Na_2SO_4$ 0.5중량부, $B_2O_3$ 3.0중량부, 그리고 발포제로서 카본 블랙류 탄소재 0.3중량부이다. 발포공정은 턴넬키른에서 진행하며, 발포소성 조건은 폐 유리분말의 입도는 -325 mesh, 발포소성온도는 $830{\sim}850^{\circ}C$, 발포시간은 30~35 min이 바람직하다. 상기 조건하에 제조된 발포체는 밀도가 $0.17{\sim}0.21g/cm^3$, 열전도도 $0.06{\pm}0.005kcal/h{\cdot}m{\cdot}^{\circ}C$, 수분 흡수율 1.1~1.5%, 압축강도는 $20{\sim}30kgf/mm^2$의 물성을 나타내었다.
