Results show incorporating glass sand increases the flowability of EGCs due to its smooth surfaces. Using 25 % of glass sand decreases the compressive and tensile strengths of the EGC due to the weakened glass-geopolymer interfaces.

Moreover, researchers concluded that the glass sand particle size below 4.5 mm without any surface cracks does not show any expansive ASR gel formation for up to 40% sand replacement level . Micro-cracks in the WG particle are not desirable, as they create pores and store solutions for future reaction, and consequently, ASR reactivity increases.

The primary aggregate of the alkali activated foam concrete mixtures prepared in this study is river sand (RS), but glass sand (GS) was used instead of RS at the substation of 0, 25, 50 and 100 % by weight. The sieve opening is 0–4 mm for both aggregates. The specific gravity and water absorption of river sand are 2.61 and 0.9 %, correspondingly.

The maximum removal efficiencies of glass, glass-sand filter, and sand filter are 94% and 95%, and 87% respectively. Statistical analysis by utilizing (DataFit, version 9. 1. 32) program models give a good matching between the measured and the predicted values for sand, glass, and glass-sand media with the determination coefficient (R²) equal ...

As the glass powder containing amorphous silica, thus it can be a perfect substitute for natural sand. Moreover, the high toughness and abrasion resistance nature of glass particles are …

By eliminating the dilatancy-induced negative pressure effects and coupling this with an analysis of the molecular structure of the hydrogel, the present study provides an in-depth look at the strength development mechanism and its durability.

Waste glass sand production process. The mix proportion is shown in Table 1; the amount of waste glass sand substituted for natural river sand, cylindrical mortar specimens of Φ50 mm × 100 mm were prepared with a water–cement ratio of 0.5.The waste glass sand replacement was approximately 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% of the mass of the total aggregate (natural river …

The sand is the main raw material for the glass production; thus the quality of the glass is related to the impurity of the sand. The main impurity which is found in natural sand is iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3), chromium (Cr 2 O 3) titanium (TiO 2) and volatile compound (LOI). [1], [2], [3], [4].However, the quality of sand depends on the glass products.

This study prepares waste glass sand according to the same granularity and fineness modulus of waste glass particles as natural river sand. The waste glass sand is closer to natural river sand …

Glass2Sand is an environment-friendly zero waste initiative and a "no glass to landfills" movement that addresses the growing menace of glass bottles being dumped into landfills by crushing them to valuable sand. ... Environment-friendly "zero waste" initiative crushing empty glass bottles into sand to stop them from going to landfills.

The global sand shortage: study of the role of glass in ... polymers as the only alternative to glass and the increase in recognition of health issues associated with these (Petrović, 2017), there are no sustainable commercial product alternatives to glass in the marketplace. Furthermore, global sand consumption is currently not adequately ...

The aim of the study was to assess the possibility of using a glass sand aggregate made from post-consumer waste glass (food, medicine, and cosmetics packaging, including …

This research introduces a sustainable way of recycling glass waste as a partial sand and cement replacement in concrete. A mixed-coloured soda-lime glass was supplied by Cairns Regional

Notable. Vibrancy: The vibrant colors of the tomatoes and leaves in the test group were noticeably enhanced. This visual vibrancy is a testament to the improved nutrition provided by the glass sand-enriched soil. Height: The tomato plants in the test group were almost 11 inches taller than those in the control group. This staggering difference showcases the growth-boosting potential …
