Abstract

Closed pore glass foams with dimensions of 60mm × 20 mm × 20 mm were produced using agro-industrial residues. Samples containing sodo-calcic glass powder (78%wt) and rice husk ash (16%wt) were characterized, and their technological properties were investigated. The samples were synthesized in a conventional muffle furnace at 750–800–850 °C. The results presented for apparent density (0.24–0.29 g/cm 3 ), compressive strength (1.5–2.3 MPa) and thermal conductivity (0.021–0.025 W/mK) meet the standards for commercial foam glasses. Low viscosity was achieved at all temperatures as a result of the addition of rice husk ash to the cell structure. X-ray fluorescence showed that the glass was silico-sodo-calcic type (SiO 2 , Na 2 O and CaO), and that the rice husk ash was rich in SiO 2 (as well as CaO, Na 2 O, Al 2 O 3 , K 2 O and Fe 2 O 3 ). The mechanical strength and low thermal conduction of the material showed a good efficiency for use in civil construction as a thermal insulating material. Material made in this way has a lower production cost, and additionally transforms waste into co-products, generating added value, favoring consecutive circulation, as well as a clean and circular economy.
