Abstract

Glazes are usually derived from wood ashes and rock materials accomplished at high temperatures. On the hypothesis that cullet, which is non-biodegradable and in the Nigerian context unutilized, indiscriminately discarded, hazardous and constitutes serious solid waste disposal challenge, contains poly-chemical oxides of glass former and should fire at low temperature, this study is production of cullet-derived glazes. Samples were collected from dumps, cleaned, heated, pulverized, sieved, washed, dried, elementally analysed and formed into two glaze batches of cullet with ball clay and cullet with potash and ball clay; milled, applied on ceramic tiles; and fired in a kiln at 1100oC.Findings revealed that cullet has the potentials to produce pure compound of silica for glazing. The study has far reaching implications for the environment in solid waste disposal, economic and industrial development, conservation of energy, reduction of deforestation and anthropogenic carbon emission and ultimately contributes towards a cleaner earth.

Atık Camdan Cama: Atıkların Seramik Sanatı, Ekonomi ve Çevresel Kalkinma İçin Dönüştürülmesi

Abstract

Cam genellikle yüksek sıcaklıklarda elde edilen odun küllerinden ve kaya malzemelerinden elde edilir. Bu çalışma, biyobozunur olmayan ve Nijerya bağlamında kullanılmayan, ayrım gözetmeksizin atılan, tehlikeli ve ciddi katı atık bertaraf etme zorluğu oluşturan cam kırıntılarının poli-kimyasal cam oluşturucu oksitler içerdiği ve düşük sıcaklıkta ateşlenmesi gerekmesi sebebiyle kırıntılardan cam elde edilmesi hipotezi üzerine kurulmuştur. Örnekler atık depolama sahalarından toplanmış, temizlenmiş, ısıtılmış, toz haline getirilmiş, elenmiş, yıkanmış, kurutulmuş, temel olarak analiz edilmiş, bilyeli kil ile cam kırıntısı ve potas ve bilyeli kil şeklinde iki cam kümesi halinde oluşturulmuştur. Cam kümeleri, öğütülmüş, seramik karolara uygulanmış ve 1100oC'de fırında pişirilmiştir. Bulgular, cam kırıntısının cam eldesi için saf silika bileşiği üretme potansiyeline sahip olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Çalışma, katı atık bertarafı, ekonomi ve endüstriyel kalkınma, enerjinin korunması, ormansızlaşmanın azaltılması ve antropojenik karbon emisyonu konularında çevre için geniş kapsamlı etkilere sahiptir ve nihayetinde daha temiz bir dünyaya katkıda bulunmaktadır.
