Effect of Carbon Particle Size and Content on the Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Recycled SLS Glass Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

Glass-composite materials were prepared from the soda lime silicate (SLS) waste glass; ball clay and charcoal powder were fired to temperature of 850 °C as an effort for recycling waste glass. Various carbon contents, i.e., 1, 5, 10, 20 and 30 wt.% C were used to evaluate the effect of carbon contents on the hardness and thermal properties of glass composites. In addition, five different particles size (d0.5) of 1, 5, 20, 40 and 75 μm were used to observe the influence of particle size on the physical and mechanical properties of the glass composites. Phase analysis studies revealed the presence of quartz (ICDD: 00001-0649, 2θ = 25.6° and 35.6°), cristobalite (ICDD 00004-0379, 2θ = 22.0° and 38.4°) and wollastonite (ICDD 00002-0689, 2θ = 30.1° and 26.9°). The results showed that the optimised properties is at 1 wt.% of carbon content containing average pore size of 10 μm, with lowest porosity percentage of 1.76 %, highest Vickers microhardness of 4.6 GPa and minimum CTE. The percentage of porosity and hardness value also increased with reduction in carbon particle size.
