Opacified glasses are used as decorative facing materials in civil and industrial engineering. In this paper the process of formation of opacified glasses based on technogenic waste and rocks (scrap from building and container glasses, broken bricks & waste from beneficiation of minerals) from Karelia, Russia, have been studied. Around 100 compositions in the Si02-Al203-Ca0-Mg0-Fe0-Fe203-Na20-K20-Ti02 system have been investigated. The decorative and physicochemical properties of the developed glass materials are suitable for industrial purposes.
