Recycling of Automotive Laminated Waste Glass in Ceramic

Abstract:

Reducing the environmental impact is an important factor for the sustainability of environment. This paper discusses the characterization of white ceramic bodies with an industrial waste produced in the automotive industry. The use of laminated glass residue as a raw material of a ceramic body was endeavor to make a positive impact on the environment. The laminated safety glass was ground to promote separation of glass from poly (vinilbutiral). Then, the powdered glass was used as starting material in the ceramic mass and PVB was used to confer plasticity to the ceramic mass. The fired ceramic body was analyzed using thermal analysis (DTA and TG). The specimens were tested to obtain the flexural resistance and water absorption. The data shows that PVB addition improved mechanical properties and that the grinded glass powder reduced the water absorption and increased the mechanical strength of ceramic bodies after firing.
