Processes of the Foaming Mixture’ Components Interaction during the Foam Glass Synthesis

Abstract

The prospects for the use of foam glass in construction were described. The modern compositions of foaming mixtures for foam glass synthesis were considered. Compositions for studying the influence of the foaming mixture components on the formation of foam glass porous structure were developed, their internal structure and properties were studied. The role of each component of the mixture on its foaming was revealed. Glycerol is a pore-forming agent, which decomposes and produces foaming gases. Waterglass is a stabilizing agent reducing glycerol combustion process. Recommendations on the application of the described patterns in the foam glass synthesis were given.
