Development of Resource-Saving Cellular Glass Technology and Materials Based on it

The advantages and drawbacks of a modern thermal insulating material – cellular glass (foam glass) – and the use of manmade waste (in particular, thermal power plant ash-slag waste) in its synthesis were described. The results of studies into the development of composites and temperature-time synthesis modes of effective energy-saving cellular glass and materials based on it were shown, including the experimental samples of insulating boards and blocks with density of not more than 500 kg/m3; experimental samples of porous granules for lightweight concrete and thermal insulating fillers with density of not more than 250 kg/m3 –. Technology of cellular glass using the Novocherkassk State District Power Plant ash-slag waste was described. The developed technological solutions allow setting physical and mechanical properties of materials based on cellular glass (density, porosity, thermal conductivity, compressive and bending strength) by varying the amount of ash-slag waste in its composition.
