Eco-Glass Based on Thailand Quartz Sands and Bismuth Oxide

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ecological glass with non-toxic was fabricated in bismuth-bearing glass using mainly local quartz sands and various concentration of bismuth oxide. The specific gravity (SG), refractive index (RI), thermal expansion coefficient (CoE) and hardness (HV) were determined. It was found that the values of SG, RI and HV were increased linearly as the increasing of bismuth oxide, whiles that of CoE was decreased. This glass is environmentally friendly materials.
