<strong>Technology</strong> Profile<br />

<strong>Technology</strong> of Production of Foamglass<br />

Blocks<br />

Description<br />

The technology is based on the process of foam<strong>in</strong>g powdery<br />

cullet under high-temperature. The process <strong>in</strong>cludes<br />

the follow<strong>in</strong>g stages: wash<strong>in</strong>g of cullet, crush<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> gr<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

separation of needed fraction, mix<strong>in</strong>g with other additives,<br />

fill<strong>in</strong>g the form, pre-heat<strong>in</strong>g, foam<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the kiln,<br />

cool<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> anneal<strong>in</strong>g. Also, the technology of production<br />

of foamglass blocks from silica s<strong>and</strong> has been worked out.<br />

Innovative Aspects <strong>and</strong> Ma<strong>in</strong> Advantages<br />

Innovations are chemical content of powder <strong>and</strong> technological<br />

design. The material has good mechanical <strong>and</strong><br />

thermo physical properties <strong>in</strong> comparison with the exist<strong>in</strong>g<br />

analogues.<br />

Areas of Application<br />

Foamglass is an excellent thermal <strong>and</strong> noise <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g material,<br />

which is used <strong>in</strong> construction, shipbuild<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> chemical<br />

burns <strong>in</strong>dustry. It does not decay or absorbs moisture.<br />

It has high hygienic properties.<br />

Stage of Development<br />
