  • Influence of the mechanical activation of raw mixes on the properties of Foam Glass from sand sludge
    Construction and Building Materials, 2016
    Co-Authors: Svetlana Volland
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper reports the results of mechanical activation influence investigations on Foam Glass properties from sand sludge. Sand sludge is a waste product from crushing and screening plants for sand and gravel production. The results show the mechanical activation efficiency of the raw mix as a structural regulation tool and the properties of Foam Glass from sand sludge. Mechanical activation of the raw mix for 20 min to a particle size of 50 μm allows the sample to receive granular Foam Glass with a bulk density of 200 kg/m3, a strength of 0.63 MPa and a water absorption of 1.4%.

  • A Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Typical Foam Glass Production
    Materials Science Forum, 2018
    Co-Authors: Xian Zheng Gong, Yingliang Tian, Li Juan Zhang
    Abstract:

    Foam Glass is a new insulation building materials and plays an important role in building energy efficiency for its many excellent performances, such as small thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion and high mechanical strength. Generally, the manufacturing process of Foam Glass mainly can be classified into two typical processes, the waste Glass recycling process and Glass melting process. In this paper, the process-oriented life cycle assessment is used to quantitative analyze and evaluate the environmental load, such as energy consumption and pollutant emission of the two typical processes. The results show that the environmental load of the Glass melting process takes place in two stages of the Foaming and annealing, and the raw material extraction, while the waste Glass recycling process mainly come from Foaming and annealing. Regarding the energy consumption of Foam Glass, waste Glass process is lower 22.4% than the Glass melting process, while carbon emissions is lower 24.8%, and the comprehensive environmental impact is lower 40%. Therefore, the findings will guide and promote the new technology application for the energy saving and green technology applications in Foam Glass industry.

  • Mechanism of surface depression on Foam Glass
    Journal of Wuhan University of Technology-Mater. Sci. Ed., 2016
    Co-Authors: Yingliang Tian, Suli Zhang, Jinshu Cheng
    Abstract:

    The mechanism of the surface depression of the Foam Glass was studied. A method of powder sintering with plate Glass as the raw material and carbon black as the Foaming agent was adopted to investigate the influences of Foaming temperature, soaking time, moisture content in the release agent, and flame preheating temperature on the surface depression of a Foam Glass blank. The results indicated that insufficient cooling rate and rapid Foaming process that could not react synergistically with the surface tension and viscosity of the Glass melt aroused the mismatching between the Glass melt and the expansion or contraction of gas, resulting in upper surface depression of Foam Glass. Besides, the batch carbon black at high temperature reacted with residual water in advance to generate large amounts of gas and form the air space which could expand inside, leading to lower surface depression of Foam Glass.

  • Analysis of the Environmental Impact of Foam Glass
    Materials Science Forum, 2016
    Co-Authors: Li Juan Zhang, Yingliang Tian, Xian Zheng Gong, Zhi Hong Wang, Feng Gao, Yu Liu
    Abstract:

    Foam Glass was widely used as a green energy saving material with good performances of light, thermal insulation and sound absorption. Using waste Glass as raw material for Foam Glass production, can not only turn waste into treasure and reduce resource consumption, but also protect the environment. In this article, the Foam Glass which produced in Jiaxing, China was studied based on the method of life cycle assessment (LCA), and the resources, the energy consumption and the emission of pollutants at the same time were evaluated. The results show that the characterization value of GWP is the largest. The Foaming stage is the main contributor which accounts for 79.7%. Similarly, the Foaming stage is the major contributor to AP, POCP, EP and HTP .The characterization value of ADP is the smallest. The Foaming stage and annealing stage is the main contributor to ADP which account for 43.0%, 49.7% respectively. It has been found that the Foaming stage makes the most contribution to the environmental impact. AP, GWP, POCP and EP of the Foaming stage are extremely prominent compared to other stages. The authors used the methods of equal weight coefficient and AHP to weight the single indicator. The results show that the environment impact caused by the Foaming stage is the largest, then grinding stage and cutting stage follow behind. The environment impact caused by the transportation stage is the smallest.

    Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2015
    Co-Authors: De Long Wu, Yingliang Tian, Shu Guang Guo
    Abstract:

    The under surface depression of Foam Glass blanks as one of the typical defects, influences and impedes the quality of Foam Glass and material cutting rate. This paper studies the water content of release agent and open flame burning temperature effects on under depression of Foam Glass, to reveal its generation mechanism, using TG-DSC, XRD, FTIR, and other analytical methods. The results show that, with the increase of drying temperature, the under surface depression phenomenon reduces, indicating the air cavity caused by heating vaporization of water molecules. The surface is white. In the early flame heating, firing temperature is more than 700°C, by the mold bottom heating carbon, resulting in carbon black early reaction gas, not be wrapped by Glass, eventually gathering to form an air chamber. The surface is grey.

  • Experiment on the Mechanical Behavior of Integrated Concrete-Foam Glass Sandwich Blocks
    Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
    Co-Authors: Cheng Jian Ruan, Jian Min Wang, Neng Jun Wang
    Abstract:

    The mechanical behavior of integrated concrete/lightweight aggregate concrete-Foam Glass Sandwich blocks was tested in this paper. Foam Glass plate was inserted and poured together into the Sandwich block. The compressive strength and the tensile strength normal to the interface were tested and analyzed. The results indicate that, the compressive strength of Sandwich blocks is mainly depended on concrete/lightweight concrete parts. The damage of Sandwich blocks in tensile test is due to the tensile strength insufficiency of Foam Glass plates. The bonding between the Foam Glass plates and concrete/lightweight concrete performs well whether in the compressive or in tensile experiment. It provides a tentative guideline to manufacture jointly poured concrete-Foam Glass Sandwich blocks.

    Abstract:

    Foam Glass is a kind of inorganic heat-insulating material. It possesses excellent properties such as fire proof, water proof, heat keeping and insulation, sound absorption. But Foam Glass is hard and brittle; it is easy to be broken in the process of transportation and construction. Furthermore, the construction technology is complex and uneconomical whether in the external or internal thermal insulation system in construction. In this paper, Foam Glass plate was inserted in the concrete test block and was poured together into the Sandwich block. The compressive strength and the tensile strength normal to the interface between the Foam Glass and concrete blocks were studied through experiments. It will provide effective technical supporting for further study on the manufacturing of integrally poured concrete-Foam Glass Sandwich building blocks.

New Glass coated Foam Glass (Foamglas^®) insulating tiles have been tested by several standard tests (UNI Iso, ASTM) to define their suitability for energy saving buildings: impact tests, thermal shock resistance, wear resistance, water absorption, frost resistance, resistance to stains. Except for impact tests, Glass coated Foam Glass (Foamglas^®) satisfied all the requirements above, resulting to be thermal shock resistant, according to Uni Iso 10545-9 (Al spheres); effective to reduce the pristine Foamglas^® surface water absorption, according to Uni En 1609:1999 and 12087:1999; frost resistant, according to Uni Iso 10545-12 and class 5 towards olive oil, according to Uni Iso 10545-14. Wear tests and hot water corrosion behavior tests have been done on the proposed coating and on a commercial soda-lime Glass: the Glass coated Foam Glass resulted to be suitable where corrosion and wear resistance are not a concern.
