Notes:
Several kinds of wastes have been converted into glasses, successively powdered andsintered with simultaneous crystallisation. The employed “sinter-crystallisation” process was usefulto obtain glass-ceramics with particular crystal phases (sometimes un-accessible from traditionalnucleation/crystal growth treatments, like feldspar crystals). Conventional pressing of fine glasspowders led to monoliths, after sintering, with remarkable mechanical properties (for examplebending strength exceeding 100 MPa), useful for tile applications; replication processes, byemploying sacrificial polymeric materials, after the same thermal treatment employed for themonoliths, led to open-celled glass-ceramic foams, useful for filtering applications. The enhancedspecific surface due to porosity was found to have a positive effect on crystallisation
