The invention discloses a method for preparing
foam glass by using diatomite with high
organic matter content, and particularly relates to the technical field of building materials. The invention aims to utilize abundant residual organic matters in diatomite with high
organic matter content as a natural pore-forming agent and utilize a porous structure of a diatomite
algae disc to obtain high-quality
foam glass. The preparation method of the
foam glass comprises the following steps: (1) respectively
grinding the waste glass and the diatomite to a certain
fineness level; (2) uniformly mixing glass
powder, diatomite, a small amount of
foaming agent and foam stabilizer according to a certain proportion; (3) forming the mixture; and (4) firing and foaming, and then annealing according to a certain
temperature gradient. The foamed glass is low in
raw material cost, simple in process and suitable for
batch production, the problem that waste glass and low-grade high-organic-matter-content diatomite cannot be fully utilized is solved, and the obtained foamed glass is excellent in quality, high in
porosity and sound absorption coefficient and firm in texture and is a good heat-preservation, sound-absorption and fireproof material.
