Dense glass‐ceramics by fast sinter‐crystallization of mixtures of waste‐derived glasses
Abstract Dense glass‐ceramics were obtained by cold pressing and sinter‐crystallization of a glass originated from the plasma gasification of municipal solid waste (“Plasmastone”) mixed with recycled soda‐lime glass and kaolin clay. The optimum mixture featured 45% Plasmastone/45% soda‐lime glass/10% kaolin clay and it was sintered according to a fast ...
