Experiments To Obtain Glass-Ceramics From Glass Waste Resulting From Cathode Ray Tubes (Crt)

Experiments on the recovery of glass waste resulting from cathode ray tubes were focused to designing compositions of glass-ceramics from glass waste with possible applications in composite materials. The recipes were calculated using as much waste as possible, using various nucleating agents and varying percentages showing in this study the influence of ZrO2. The report of CRT glass used for the neck-funnel-panel components were 5:30:65%, identical to the ones in CRT. Physical and mechanical properties; density, porosity, absorption, thermal expansion, hydrolytic stability were determined.
