The invention discloses a preparation method of
foam glass. The preparation method comprises taking
graphite powder as a
foaming agent, mixing the
graphite powder with pretreated glass
powder, and performing firing to obtain the
foam glass product. Waste glass in daily life is taken as a
raw material, and the
raw material is cleaned and dried, crushing and ball-milling are performed to prepare glass powder with a particle size smaller than 300 microns, the glass powder is mixed with a proper amount of the
graphite powder, ball milling is performed in a
ball mill, 50-mesh sieving is performed,a proper amount of the mixture is taken for forming under a certain pressure, the formed mixture is placed into a stainless steel mold coated with a
release agent for firing according to a certain process condition, and the
foam glass product is obtained. The average
pore diameter of the prepared foam glass is about 0.2mm, the product density is 460 kg / m<3>, the water
absorption rate is less than3.5%, the foaming is uniform, the
volume expansion is obvious, the air holes are small and uniform, the communication holes are less, and the foaming quality is optimum. The foam glass prepared by thepreparation method can be applied to heat-preservation, sound-absorption and heat-insulation materials; and the dual problems of environmental
pollution and resource reutilization are effectively solved by the preparation of the foam glass.
