Abstract


Cell glass samples are elaborated from recovered glass from vehicles windshields and calcium carbonate. The aim is to promote them in the building sector as insulating materials and to contribute to the environment protection.

The protocol adopted is as follows: the glass is first ground to a fine powder to a size less than 100 microns, then it is mixed with a variable content of calcium carbonate for 30 min in a kneader. The thermal cycle includes heating at high temperature (800, 850 and 900) C for 15 min, followed by cooling in the oven to room temperature. The results show that the best composition of thermal and sound insulation is obtained with the content 1% CaCO3. The porosity level is of 90%.
