The present paper reports on the results of some experiments dealing with the recycling of mixed cathode ray tube (CRT) glass waste in the production of high-strength mortars. Waste CRT glass cullet was previously milled, and sieved, and the only fine fraction was added to the fresh mortar in order to replace part of the natural aggregate. The addition of superplasticizer was also investigated. All hydrated materials displayed high compressive strength after curing. Samples containing CRT mixed glass showed a more rapid increase of strength with respect to the reference compositions, and materials with a superplasticizer content of 1% showed the best overall performance due to the favourable influence of the small glass particles which increase the amount of silicate hydrated produced. The induced coupled plasma (ICP) analysis made on the solutions, obtained from the leaching tests, confirmed the low elution of hazardous elements from the monolithic materials produced and consequently their possible environmental compatibility.

The article presents the results of research aimed at using glass waste and ash from biomass. The tests were carried out for cement mortars samples with using glass cullet, ash from biomass and using both wastes in 50/50 proportions. The physical and mechanical properties of the standard mortar and modified mortars were tested. Standard mortar and cement mortar samples were made in which 10, 20 and 30% of the cement mass was used as part of the standard sand. The samples were made of CEM I 42.5R. Mortars containing fly ash addition had an increased compressive strength and a smaller drop in compressive strength after frost resistance tests than standard mortar. The use of glass cullet in the amount of up to 20% did not reveal any changes in the mechanical properties of mortars, but using them in a larger amount resulted in unfavorable results. The use of a mixture of these two waste materials did not improve the results. The research has shown the possibility of using this waste to modify cement mortars.

Geopolymers can be treated as an environmentally friendly alternative for concrete and enables utilization of various wastes. This paper focuses on the possibility of application of discarded cathode ray tube (CRT) glass inside a metakaolin-based geopolymer in the form of an aggregate, providing an ecological method of recycling of this hazardous material. The main goal of this paper was to develop an optimal composition of a new geopolymer and to describe its behavior under varying curing conditions. A geopolymer made of different mixtures was subjected to flexural and compressive strength tests. The density, mass loss, temperature changes, and metals leaching were determined as well. The results demonstrated that neither the content of CRT glass nor the curing regime has a significant influence on the mechanical behavior. However, the strength of the geopolymer containing 50% CRT glass by mass increased with time in contrast to a geopolymer with a higher CRT glass content. The development of temperature inside the mixture was dependent on the amount of metakaolin. The concentration of toxic metals in an aqueous extract decreased considerably after the encapsulation of CRT glass inside the geopolymer. The presented results indicate that discarded CRT glass can be considered an aggregate for a metakaolin-based geopolymer. The new material shows high strength and makes the CRT glass safe for the environment.

Abstract The paper focuses on the use of glass waste as a substitute for aggregates (0/4, 4/8 and 8/16 mm) in the production of concrete in order to reduce the negative impact of existing waste on the environment. For the study, 5 mixtures were designed with gradual replacement of individual natural aggregate fractions in the concrete mixture by glass cullet. Real density, total water absorption and compressive strength were monitored on cubes with an edge of 100 mm for a period of 14 days to 3 years. The achieved compressive strength of samples with glass as a filler at the level of 50 MPa gives a good precondition for the real use of such concrete in practice. In addition, when combined it with lower real density and total water absorption.

This article is aimed on the study of glass bottle cullet influence on the compressive and flexural strength development of products prepared as the partial natural aggregate replacement by crushed glass waste. For this study, eight different mixtures containing coloured glass cullet as a full replacement of natural aggregate fractions 0/4, 4/8 and 8/16 mm and two comparative mixtures were prepared. In four of these mixtures, 25% of Portland cement were replaced by coal fly ash. After 7, 28 and 90 days of hardening, samples were tested on flexural strength and compression strength. Results showed, that specimens containing full replacement of fraction 8/16 mm of glass cullet reached the highest compressive strength 43.32 MPa corresponding to concrete strength class C 30/37. Partial cement replacement by coal fly ash leads to low compressive strength after 7, 28 and 90 days of curing. Use of coloured glass bottle cullet in concrete should not have negative impact on the strength characteristics of hardened concrete and should have positive effects for preparing quality fair-faced concrete surfaces.
