FAQS 4

Why are alkaline oxides added to glass?

Alkaline and alkaline earth oxides are added to the glass in order to increase the melting rate, to decrease the viscosity of the molten glass and to obtain a good processing performance during forming. The alkali oxides are effective in improving the fusibility (“fluxing agent”)

Can glass be used as a raw material for alkaline activation?

This comprehensive overview results in the following conclusions: Glass has the potential to serve as the sole raw material for alkaline activation, functioning independently of its chemical composition and the molarity of the alkaline solution.

What is the molecular mechanism of mild alkali-activated glasses?

This suggests that the molecular mechanism of mild alkali-activated glasses is similar to glass corrosion. Due to the limited molarity, the alkaline solution does not allow for the complete dissolution of the glass used as raw material, but only affects the surface of the glass particles.

Can alkali-activated materials improve Waste Valorisation of glass?

Among the promising alternatives for improving waste valorisation of glass, alkali-activated materials (AAMs) emerge as a solution. Waste glasses can be employed both as aggregates and as precursors, with a focus on its application as the sole raw material for synthesis.
