Abstract: The paper presents a study of the industrial waste incorporating in glass in order to obtain decorative colored glasses. The influence of iron and chromium oxides from waste amount is discussed. The samples properties such as density, thermal expansion coefficient and viscosity are investigated. Including different oxides of heavy metals (obtained from sludge that contains chromium and iron) into the vitreous system leads to the obtaining of several decorative glasses. Their colour varies widely, to the added quantity and the atmosphere of the work place.

Abstract: The dust of cement furnace is the actual secondary result of cement industry. That, there’s more than three million tons annually aggregated in Egypt, as it representing great danger whether to man and the surrounded environment. This because such dust has harmful effect on environment and beings, especially the close areas from cement factories. That, using of any cement dust quantity considers good solution of environment pollution, which resulted from the recent industry, especially cement. In this research, it uses cement dust to glass mixtures with increased rates may reach 70% of glass composition mixture’s weight, where such rate doesn’t affect the chemical or physical properties of obtained glass, so it shall be suitable to be used in many applicable purpose in this industry.
