Study of Sb2O3 Effects on the Properties of Foam Glass from Waste CRT Panel Glass Recycling

In this paper, low density foam glass was prepared from scrap CRT panel glass by powder-sintering method. The effects of addictive content, antimony trioxide (Sb(2)O(3)), on morphology, density, and mechanical properties of the prepared foam glass were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermal conductivity instrument. The results showed that under the same heating conditions, when optimal additive amount of Sb(2)O(3) was 2.0 mass%, the density and compressive strength of foam glass were 0.1857 g/cm(3) and1.0534 Mpa, respectively, and distribution of pore size was homogeneous.
