Four boron wastes (BW), named as Sieve (SBW), Dewatering (DBW), Thickener (TBW) and Mixture (MBW) waste, from Kirka plant (Turkey) were investigated for the formation of Artificial Lightweight Aggregates (LWA). The characterization involved chemical, mineralogical and thermal analyses. The bloating behavior was examined by heating microscopy. SBW and DBW expanded in two stages, at 300°C approximately and subsequently at 550°C with concurrent formation of liquid phase. However, at 650-700°C there is excessive liquid phase formed resulting in large, non uniform porosity of irregular shape. On the contrary, in the case of TBW and MBW no noticeable expansion or glassy surface was formed. An optimization route, involved the formation of a mixtur...
