Effect of Utilizing Different Colors Waste Glass and Calcium Carbonate Waste on Properties of Ecological Ceramic Clay Tiles

EasyChair Preprint no. 6096

Abstract

This research aims at investigating the effect of utilizing different colors waste glass and calcium carbonate on properties of ecological ceramic clay tiles. The wastes materials used in this study is consisted of Calcium carbonate (CC), Green glass cullet (GGC), Clear glass cullet (CGC), Brown glass cullet (BGC). In addition, Local ball clay (LBC), and local white clay (LWC) have been combined in the mixtures. The process of producing such specimens starts from sintering the materials at 850 ^oC and 950 ^oC. The properties of the specimens are then tested, in which the test results can be grouped into group A, B, and C. Group A, which contains portions of green glass cullet, has the lowest water absorption value of 13.35 % and 11.06 % and the highest bending strength of 10.44 and 17.19 MPa when firing at 850 ^oC and 950 ^oC. With utilizing clear glass cullet of group B, it has the lowest water absorption value of 14.25 % and 11.16 %, and the highest bending strength of 14.66 and 19.27 MPa of firing at two temperatures. Group C, containing the portions of brown glass cullet, has the lowest water absorption value of 12.59 % and 10.02 % and the highest bending strength of 14.69 and 27.7 MPa. of firing at two temperatures. It is found that sintering specimens at high temperature resulting in higher bending strength values and low water absorption. Furthermore, group C has higher bending strength than that of Group A and B resulting in an increase of product strength. As utilizing these wastes for producing environmentally friendly wall tiles., this study can alleviate the problem of degradation environment from industrial wastes and reduce its disposal cost.

Keyphrases: Brown glass cullet, calcium carbonate, Clear Glass Cullet, Ecological Wall Tiles, Green glass cullet
