Production of Borosilicate Glasses from Residues of Ornamental Rocks

Abstract:

In this work, glasses with compositions, close to commercial borosilicate glasses, were developed. The main raw materials were residues of ornamental rock industries ( marbles and granites ). Beach sand was used in order to enrich the compositions with silica. Also, boron oxide was added to reach borosilicate glasses compositions. The obtained glasses were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and hydrolytic resistance. The measured properties were compared to those of commercial glasses, available in the market, from two different brands. XRD results confirmed amorphous patterns of the produced glasses. The other tests revealed an excellent agreement between the obtained values and those from commercial glasses. Therefore, this study showed the possibility of using ornamental rocks residues as primary sources to produce borosilicate glasses. In addition, it became clear that an economic value could be aggregated to the residues, which otherwise would be discharged into nature causing pollution.
