A new technique for the production of cellular glass and glass-ceramics foams is the main goal of the hereby presented research activities. It is based on a combination of alkali-activation of silica-rich materials, with subsequent inorganic gel casting foaming by means of a surfactant and final heat treatment trough sinter-crystallisation process. This new process is less expensive and more environmentally sustainable than the current procedures based on mixtures of glass powders and foaming agents, which decompose and release gases at a temperature significantly above the softening glass point, and is conceived as an alternative route to valorise silica-rich waste materials The alkali activation of glass waste allows to obtain well-dispe...
