National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Waste Glass as a Flux for Brick Clays.

PB214271

Publication Date	1972
Personal Author	Tyrrell, M. E.; Goode, A. H.
Page Count	14
Abstract	The investigation was undertaken to demonstrate how waste glass might be used to lower the required firing temperature and firing time of structural clay products. Mixtures of waste glass and common clays were formed by stiff-mud extrusion and fired to the temperature required to produce a body having 6-7 percent absorption. Substitution of glass for one-half the clay in a red body reduced the firing temperature 500F, making a 30 percent increase in production possible; in a tan body the firing temperature was reduced 400F making a 23.3 percent increase in production possible.
