End of Life-Materials: WEEE Glass Recovery in Construction Sector
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work was investigated the feasibility to use Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) glasses in construction sector as secondary raw material. WEEE glasses were used in different percentages as a function of the product obtained: 30-40wt% for glaze formulations, about 40wt% for glass-ceramics and 5wt% in brick bodies. The laboratory and industrial scale up results demonstrated that it is possible to produce a glazed tile with a glaze containing fluorescent lamps glass instead of commercial ceramic frits. Glass-ceramics composed by nepheline ((Na,K)AlSiO4), akermanite (Ca2Mg(Si2O7)) and celsian (BaAl2Si2O8) were obtained at low temperature and short time (T = 900°C and t = 60 min) with panel glass as component. Besides, small amounts of panel glass were added in brick bodies because this glass is suitable as fluxing agent only at high temperatures; at brick manufacturing temperatures (around 1000°C), the glass viscosity does not enough contribute to the sintering process.

Chemical flooding, especially alkaline/surfactant/polymer flooding, is of increasing interest due to the world increasing oil demand. This work shows the aspects of using alkaline/surfactant/polymer as an enhanced oil recovery method in the porous media having a high dead-end pore frequency with various dead-end pore parameters (such as opening, depth, aspect ratio, and orientation). Using glas...

The EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) (2002/96/EC), to be implemented in stages from August 2004, attempts to tackle the growing quantity WEEE by making producers responsible for the costs of the collection and recycling of their products at the end of usable life. This is considered to give producers a financial incentive to reduce waste at source through eco-des...

Waste of electric and electronic equipment (WEEE) is the fastest-growing waste stream in Europe. The large amount of electric and electronic products introduced every year in the market makes WEEE disposal a relevant problem. On the other hand, the high abundance of key metals included in WEEE has increased the industrial interest in WEEE recycling. However, the high variability of materials us...
