Preparation and characterization of nucleated glass-ceramics based on basaltic rocks

Abstract: Glass-ceramics were prepared from basaltic rocks and by-pass cement dust. The effects of addition of the nucleating agents Cr 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , and CaF 2 on crystallization, phase assemblages, and microstructure were investigated. The glasses were melted at a temperature of around 1400°C and heat-treated at 1000°C for 2 h; the produced glass was examined by DTA, while glass-ceramics was examined by XRD and SEM. The presence of Cr 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , and CaF 2 was found to enhance and favor the crystallizability of w… Show more

“…47 The average grain diameter was calculated by dividing the number of intersected grains by the line length. According to previous studies of fused cast basalt, 37,43,48 the average crystal size is approximately within the range of 1 to 10 μm, which is similar to the present result. Therefore, it can be inferred that the fine grain observed in the SEM image is the crystal of diopside or magnetite.…”

“…This is in excellent agreement with the conventional fused cast basalt system showing that the main crystalline phase is monoclinic pyroxene, with a general formula of XY(Si,Al) 2 O 6 . 30 In previous studies, 28,35,37,42 the diopside phase (CaMgSi 2 O 6 ) and augite phase ((Ca, Na)(Mg,Fe,Al,Ti)(Si,Al) 2 O 6 ) were mainly observed in fused cast basalt made from natural basalt rock. The monoclinic pyroxene phase is crystallized in the globular spherulite form at relatively low temperatures between 1073 and 1173 K. 28 On the other hand, magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) forms at relatively high temperatures between 1473 and 1573 K as the idiomorphic form.…”

“…Moreover, basalts can be used as raw materials for the obtainment of iron-rich glass and glass-ceramic materials [19][20][21][22][23][24] due to their chemical composition since these volcanic rocks are mainly composed of silica, alumina, iron oxide, calcium, and magnesia with lower content of potassium, titania, manganese, and phosphorus oxide [14]. Classi cation of basalt rocks is conducted according to the SiO 2 content present in their composition and thus basalts can be classi ed as alkaline (up to 42% SiO 2 ), mildly acidic (43-46% SiO 2 ), and acidic (over 46% SiO 2 ) [25].…”

“…The major constituents of basalt are some oxides of (Silica, alumina, iron, calcia, magnesia) in addition to some other minor alkali constituents (soda, potassia, titania and manganese) [2]. Low viscosity basaltic rocks produce polycrystalline components at low temperatures with short production cycles [3, 4]. Also, basaltic rocks have a high oxidation resistance, low thermal conductivity, and high softening and melting temperatures.…”
