Characterization and crystallization kinetics of a diopside-based glass-ceramic developed from glass industry raw materials

Properties of lightweight aggregate produced by rapid sintering of incinerator bottom ash

“…It often occurs with calcite, tremolite, diopside, anorthite and a number of other rare calcium-magnesium silicate minerals (Deer et al, 1992). These mineral phases have also been reported to form in glass-ceramics produced by thermally treating mixes of a number of other municipal and industrial wastes including IBA, incinerator fly ash, coal fired power station fly ash, waste fluorescent glass and electric arc furnace dust (Boccaccini et al, 1995(Boccaccini et al, , 1997(Boccaccini et al, , 2000Erol et al, 2000Erol et al, , 2001Gao and Drummond, 1999;Öveçolu et al, 1997;Park and Heo, 2002;Rincón et al, 1999;Romero et al, 1999;Yun et al, 2002).…”

Sintering and reactive crystal growth of diopside–albite glass–ceramics from waste glass

“…5,6 Usually, the raw materials used in the production of glass-ceramics are the glass industry raw materials, such as clay, quartz sand, dolomite, limestone, feldspar, calcite, natural diopside mineral and other raw materials. 2,[7][8][9] In the recent decades, large amount of industrial and domestic wastes, including various fly ashes generated from coal-and oil-fired electric power stations, or from urban solid waste and sewage sludge incinerators, kaolin clay refining waste (Kira), granite waste, slags from steel making, etc. 6,10-12 have been successfully applied to the preparation of glass-ceramics for the sake of environment protection and saving resource.…”

Influence of particle size on the crystallization kinetics of glasses produced from waste materials

“…In recent years, the production of glass-ceramic materials made by recycling industrial wastes such as, coal fly ash, iron blast furnace slags, municipal incinerator fly ash and even red mud from aluminum production have been investigated by many researchers [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Glassceramic production is achieved through a two step process namely nucleation and crystallization stages.…”
