Production of Foamed Glass by Using Hydrolysis of Waste Glass(III) - Heat Treatment for Stabilization and Scale-up Test -

Heat treatment condition for the stabilization of foamed glass block through the foaming process of the hydrolized waste glass was investigated and scale-up test for the manufacturing of foamed glass was also attempted for the actual foaming process. Proper heat treatment condition was quenching from the foaming temperature to $550{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ for stabilization, and then annealing from stabilization temperature to $200^{\circ}C$ and holding up at $200^{\circ}C$ for removal thermal stress, and then annealing to the room temperature with cooling speed of $0.3^{\circ}C/min$. Through this heat treatment conditions, foamed glass block with size of $250mm{\times}250mm{\times}90mm$ was produced successfully. The properties of this foamed glass block showed density of $0.28{\pm}0.06g/cm^3$, thermal conductivity of $0.048{\pm}0.005kcal/hm^{\circ}C$, moisture absorption of $0.5{\pm}0.09vol%$, linear expansion coefficient of $(8.6{\pm}0.2){\times}10^{-6}m/m^{\circ}C$($400^{\circ}C$), flexural strength of $15.0{\pm}0.6kg/cm^2$, and compression strength of $39.5{\pm}0.6kg/cm^2$.

폐유리의 가수분해 반응에 의한 발포유리의 제조(III) - 안정화 열처리공정 및 Scale-up Test -

가수분해시킨 폐 유리를 사용하여 발포유리블록의 제조시 발포유리블록의 안정화를 위한 열처리 공정을 조사하였으며 이를 바탕으로 상업적 생산을 위한 scale-up 실험을 시도하였다. 최적의 열처리 조건은 발포소성 후 $550{\sim}600^{\circ}C$로 급냉시켜 안정화시키고 이후 $200^{\circ}C$에서 추가적으로 열응력을 해소하고 $0.3^{\circ}C/min$의 속도로 실온까지 냉각시키는 것이다. 이러한 열처리 조건을 거침으로서 기계적으로 안정성을 지닌 $250mm{\times}250mm{\times}90mm$ 크기의 발포유리가 생산 가능하였으며 이 경우 발포유리블록의 물성은 밀도 $0.28{\pm}0.06g/cm^3$, 열전도도 $0.048{\pm}0.005kcal/hm^{\circ}C$, 흡수율 $0.5{\pm}0.09vol%$, 선팽창계수$(8.6{\pm}0.2){\times}10^{-6}m/m^{\circ}C$($400^{\circ}C$ 기준), 휨강도 $15.0{\pm}0.6kg/cm^2$, 압축강도 $39.5{\pm}0.6kg/cm^2$의 특성을 갖는 것으로 확인되었다.
