Abstract

This investigation is carried out to study the effect of carbon content to the mechanical and thermal properties of recycled soda lime silicate glass. In this study, physical properties, mechanical and thermal properties were studied at different carbon content, which are 85:0:15, 84:1:15, 80:5:15, 75:10:15 (glass: carbon: ball clay). In order to study the effect of ball clay to the specimen properties, ratio of 99:1:0, 98:2:0 and 97:3:0 were used. The hardness and thermal analysis was carried out using cylindrical pellet and rectangular mould with dimension of 13 mm and 7 cm x 2 cm x3 cm respectively and sintered at 850°C. Apparent porosity,bulk density, water absorption and hardness properties were measured using ASTM C-373. Thermal conductivity was measured using KD2 Pro Thermal Properties Analyzer. Phase and morphology analysis was carried out using X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Result showed that hardness property decreased while thermal conductivity increased with increased of carbon content. The porosity and water absorption also increased with the increasing carbon content while the bulk density decreased. The SEM analysis showed that the pores are increasing in size as carbon content is increasing. The phase analysis revealed that cristobalite and silicon dioxide crystalline phases are formed in the samples.
