The use of cullet in the manufacture of vitrified clay pipes
Highlights Glass cullet was incorporated in vitrified sewer pipes as feldspar substitution. We found that adding glass helps improving mechanical properties in some samples. Adding 10% glass reduces firing temperature by 200°C. Low firing temperature reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
Abstract Vitrified clay sewer pipes are used for sanitary drainage for their corrosion and abrasion resistance. They are manufactured by mixing clay, grog and feldspar as fluxing agent. Ground glass waste (cullet) was added to clay and grog mixture to substitute expensive feldspar. Samples with different percent glass addition were fired for 3h at 1050, 1150 and 1250°C. Porosity, bulk density, water absorption and modulus of rupture values were recorded for each sample. The micro-structural morphology of some samples was observed under Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The micrographs showed the presence of liquid phase and reduced porosity on cullet addition. It was found that 10% glass addition to samples yielded samples that meet standard requirements when fired at 1050°C for 3h corresponding to a reduction of about 200°C in firing temperature. This in turns leads to savings in fuel and reduction in CO2 emissions.
