Effects of Different Sintering Temperatures on Thermal,Physical, and Morphological of SiO_2-Na_2O-CaO-P_2O_5 Based Glass-ceramic System from Vitreous and Ceramic Wastes

摘要

This research involved comprehensive studies on thermal, physical, and morphological properties ofSiO_2-Na_2O-CaO-P_2O_5 (SNCP) glass-ceramic at various sintering temperatures. The study in SNCP glass-ceramic using soda-lime-silica (SLS) wastes glass and clam shell (CS) wastes as the main raw of materials via conventional melt-quenching technique and solid state sintering are interesting and challenging by considering the research using waste materials to fabricate novel SNCP glass-ceramic. The main peaks, Na_3PO_4 and Ca_3Na_6Si_6O_(18) were assigned to high crystallization temperature (Tc) at 650-950 °C. The density of samples increases at 550-750 °C and decreases at 850-950 °C due to the increase of sample thickness and higher specific volume at high sintering temperature. FESEM micrograph showed that existed porous increased at sintering temperature 850-950 °C contributes effect to low densification of the sample.
