Description of the research topic:

The multifunctionality of different glass types has led to an increasing amount of waste glass. Technological developments have resulted a significant growth in the consumption of computers and televisions. However, most of this type of waste was made up of cathodic ray tubes and screen glasses containing some hazardous elements (Pb, Sr, Ba). Disposal of these wastes is harmful for the environment. As it is difficult to remove CRT lead for recycling, one possible way to neutralize the harmful chemical compounds is the encapsulation. In this research, geopolymers containing glass foams derived from hazardous glass waste are developed. Geopolymers are mainly derived from waste materials (e.g. fly ash, construction and demolition waste, red mud etc.). Glass foams are prepared by using CRT waste glass. These glass foams will be added as a lightweight aggregate to the geopolymer paste to produce lightweight geopolymer concrete. Microstructure, chemical and mechanical properties of the newly developed materials will be characterized
