Disposal of waste glass derived from bottle or packaging glass, flat glass, domestic glass is one of the major environmental defies. Moreover, the remnants of bricks resulting from the remnants of buildings are also considered an important factor in polluting the environment due to the difficulty of filling or getting rid it. The aim of this study is to valorize these wastes through chemical activation to be an environmentally friendly material. The Microstructure, compressive strength, setting time, drying shrinkage, water absorption of different pastes produced by clear glass (CG), green glass (GG) and brick waste (BP) activated were tested and recorded after curing for 3, 7, 28 and 365 days. Five samples of pastes were mixed in proportions represented by: 100% GP (GP), 100% GGP (GGP), 100% BP (BP), 90% GP + 10% BP (GPB) and 90% GGP + 10% BP (GGPB). Various parameters considered in this study include sodium hydroxide concentrations (10 mol/l); 0.4 as alkaline liquid to binder ratio; 2.5 as sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide ratio and cured at 60℃ for 24 hours. Experimental results revealed that the addition of 10% of BP resulted in an increased strength performance of geopolymer paste especially with GGPB compared to GGP in 365 days. In addition, the 10% amount of BP increases the absorption and shrinkage rate of geopolymer pastes (GPB and GGPB) by reducing the setting time. SEM results revealed that the addition of BP and GP resulted in a dense structure.

Recycling industrial wastes such as fly ash from a coal burning heat power plant and shell from an oyster farming were investigated to prevent environment contamination as well as to enhance the value of recycling materials. In this study, the lightweight aggregates and the red bricks were fabricated from fly ashes with other inorganic materials and wastes. The starting materials of the lightweight aggregate were fly ash powder and water glass, and the compacts of these materials were heat treated at $1100^{\circ}C$. The fabricated lightweight aggregates had low bulk density, $0.9-1.2\;g/cm^3$, hence floated on the water and had the strength of 7.0-11.0 MPa and the modulus of 2900-3300 MPa which indicates it has enough strength as the aggregate. Another type of the light weight aggregate was prepared from fly ashes, shell powders and clays. The bulk density, porosity, and compressive strength of these aggregates were $1.19-1.34\;g/cm^3,\;18.3{\sim}56.1%$ and 5-12 MPa, respectively. The addition of a small amount of fly ash powder prevented hydration of the light weight aggregates. The red brick was also fabricated from the fly ash containing materials. It is suitable for the brick facing of a building as it has moderate strength and low water absorption rate.

전기로 더스트, 석탄회, 석분 등 폐기물을 재활용한 소성벽돌의 미세구조 및 조성분포를 SEM과 EBS로 분석하였다. 소성벽돌 시편 중 일부에서 갈색 매트릭스 위에 노란색 영역이 발견되었고 내부에는 갈색 영역 외에 흑색 black-core 영역이 존재하였다. 표면의 노란색 영역은 Zn이 주성분이었으며 흑색 black-core 영역은 매트릭스와 조성차이는 보이지 않았다. 소성벽돌 시편의 전 부분에 걸쳐 1$\mu\textrm{m}$ 크기의 mullite 결정상이 분포하고 있었으며 유리질에 의해 둘러싸여져 있었다. 이는 고령토와 석탄회 내의 alumino-silicate 화합물이 소성과정에서 meta-kaolinite를 거쳐 mullite로 전이된 것으로 사료된다. 시편 외부는 산화분위기가 조성되나 내부는 석탄회 및 더스트에 함유되어 있는 미연탄소분에 의해 환원분위기가 조성 되면서 발생한 가스에 의해 발포되어 흑색 black-core 영역에서는 수십 fm 크기의 구형 기공이 발견되었다. 벽돌 내부는 Al과 Si가 주성분이었고 소량의 Fe, K, Ca, Na를 포함하고 있었다 특히 Fe는 비정질상 표면에 원판형 Fe-rich 결정상으로 석출되어 존재하고 있었다. 시편 내부에서는 상대적으로 적은 양의 Zn이 발견되었고 외부에서는 내부에 있던 Zn이 환원되면서 표면으로 확산되어 Zn-rich 결정상을 표면에 형성하여 노란색 표피층을 형성하였다.
