Recycled CRT Funnel Glass as Coarse Aggregate and Fine Aggregate in the Radiation Protection Concrete

In recent decades, high-tech electrical equipment has drastically proliferated instead of Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), making CRT funnel glass potential hazardous solid waste. Due to a relatively high level of lead, CRT funnel glass could be used as a potential material for the production of anti-radioactive concrete. In our study the CRT funnel glass , which was separated as aggregate in the concrete, was reduced to 4.75-25 mm (coarse aggregates) and less 4.75 mm (fine aggregates) in the production of anti-radioactive concrete. Mixes containing 0%, 20%, 40% , 60%, 80% and 100% (volume percentage) of CRT funnel glass to replace fine aggregate and coarse aggregate (respectively or simultaneously)) were prepared. The influence of the size, shape and replacement percentage of aggregates on workability, compressive strength and radiation shielding performance were determined. It was found that the replacement of natural aggregate with recycled CRT glass considerably improved the slump and radiation shielding performance but reduced compressive strength. The optimum percentage of waste funnel glass used as fine aggregate and coarse aggregate was 40%. The results clearly showed that the CRT funnel glass performed a significant enhancement in radiation shielding properties.

A Study of Effect Factors on Sodium Silicate Based Expanded Perlite Insulation Board Strength

Because of low strength, the expanded perlite insulation boards application in building energy saving is restricted. This paper discuss change rules of the expanded perlite insulation board apparent density and mechanical strength with adjusting the amount of sodium silicate, pressing pressure, heating system. It turned out that good thermal insulation performance and high strength expansion perlite insulation board is prepared by mass ratio of 2.5:1 of 30% of the content of solid sodium silicate solution to expanded perlite, 0.38MPa of pressing pressure and 105°C condition of heating temperature.

High Temperature Resistance Effect of SrO/(SrO+CaO) in Alkali-Free Boro-Aluminosilicate Glasses

This paper studied the change regulation of the electrical resistivity of alkali-free boro-aluminosilicate glasses with the rate of SrO/(CaO + SrO) in the range 600~1600°C.The results showed that a mixed alkaline effect was observed with the increase of SrO content in alkali-free aluminoborosilcate glasses: the maximam resistivity of 178Ωcm appeared at SrO/(CaO+SrO) ratio =0.24, which is much larger than 108Ωcm at SrO=0. Meanwhile, the experiment results showed that the SrO makes stronger influence on the resistivity of the glass than CaO does. The Arrhenius plots, which showed the change of the resistivity with temperature in range of 1100~1625°C, present nonlinear variation, and an inflection at about 1100°C. It proved that the electrical resistivity of the alkali-free aluminoborosilcate glasses were controlled by the ionic radius of alkaline earth metals and the viscosity of glass melts.

A Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Typical Foam Glass Production

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.

The Effect of Waterproof Processing Method on Properties of Calcium Silicate Board

In this paper, the effect of waterproof processing method on properties of calcium silicate board was studied in view of the requirement of calcium silicate board for building external wall. Experiments adopted waterborne epoxy resin in the test to do waterproof processing by three ways, which means taking the measure of waterproof processing respectively on two surfaces of the sample, on two surfaces and two lateral faces of the sample, and on all the six surfaces of the sample. The results showed that the sample could easily get wet from the side to the center, and it could only get satisfactory results when taking waterproof processing on all the six surfaces of the sample. Meanwhile, the water absorption rate of the sample decreased from 18.4% to 4.4% and its bending strength significantly got improved even after that the sample was treated separately by freeze-thaw cycles, dry-wet circulation, and soaking in hot water. Moreover, the performance of moisture deformation of the sample got reduced.

Effect of EVA Emulsion on the Properties of Corn Stalk Magnesium Oxychloride Cement Composites

By the method of EVA emulsion coating, cron stalk-magnesium oxychloride cement composites (C-MOC) was modified to study the effect of EVA emulsion content on C-MOC density, the coefficient of thermal conductivity, water resistance and mechanical properties. Furthermore microstructure of C-MOC was analyzed by SEM. The results show that: with the increase of EVA emulsion content, the coefficient of thermal conductivity and softening of C-MOC increase, but water absorption reduces. When the content is 80%, the flexural strength after 28 days could reach 3.65 MPa and the compressive strength is 4.69 MPa, reaching the maximum. At the same time, C-MOC density is 816 kg/m3 and thermal conductivity is 0.111 W/(m·k). Water absorption is 36% and softening coefficient was 0.47. It is believed that EVA emulsion could form a thin film on the outer surface of the corn stalk by microscopic analysis, increasing the roughness of the straw surface and reducing the gap between the stalk. Since the EVA emulsion has good compatibility with the magnesium oxychloride cement, they could constitute a whole jointly with glue liquid, crystal and fiber, playing the role of enhancing the surface. Therefore, water resistance, thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of C-MOC have been improved effectively.

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.
