TY - JOUR AU - Saeed, Muhammad Tariq PY - 2010/12/24 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Development of Foam Glass as a New Insulating Building Material JF - Journal of the Pakistan Institute of Chemical Engineers JA - JPIChE VL - 38 IS - 1 SE - Articles DO - UR - http://piche.org.pk/journal/index.php/jpiche/article/view/3 SP - 13-19 AB - Uniform quality of foam glass has been developed from local waste soda-lime-silica glass powder containing SO<sub>3</sub> contents about 0.3% by mixing various foaming agent such as carbon powder, graphite, cellulose material or saw dust and firing the mixture at about 700 - 900<sup>o</sup>C. A study of important properties like density, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion and moisture has proved it to be good insulating building material. Useful applications in other fields have also been suggested. ER -
