High mechanical strength porous material used as a foam glass gravel experimentally manufactured from glass waste by an unconventional technique

The paper presents a new technique for making foam glass gravel by expanding at high temperature recycled glass waste with a liquid carbonic foaming agent (glycerol) in combination with sodium silicate (also called “water glass”). Unlike the conventional methods known worldwide in similar technologi...
