| Abstract Scope |
The advance of the society and technology was always followed by the increase in wastes. Some of them are too much difficult to recycle in classic ways, so new routes of recycling are necessary. This work is a study of a specific artificial stone, for interiors coverings, using as load waste of glass from fluorescent lamp, collected in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Through an experimental methodology, were studied the mechanical properties of composites tiles with matrix of 25% epoxy with addiction of 75% of glass waste as load in a specific range of particle sizes, according to the simplex experimental numerical modeling methodology. The tiles were produced in a steel mold, under compression and vacuum. The artificial stones produced were tested in bending strength and Amsler abrasion resistance. The results showed the glass composite as a stronger material and as a possible replacement to it natural marble. |
