Abstract

The paper reports on some experimental results obtained from the production of glass-ceramics containing gold tailings powder (GTP). Frits particle sintered technology was used to prepare glass ceramic products. SiO2, CaO, ZnO, BaO and B2O3 were selected to adjust the composition of the glass. Based on the results of differential thermal analysis (DTA), the nucleation and crystallization temperature of parent glass samples with different schedule were identified, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the produced glass-ceramics materials revealed that the main crystalline phase was β-wollastonite. With the increasing of CaO content, the intensity of crystal diffractive peaks also increases. The formation of β-wollastonite crystal could be accelerated by the increasing of CaO. The glass-ceramics with fine microstructure showed better physical, mechanical properties and chemical resistance. Overall results indicated that it was a feasible attempt to produce glass-ceramics for building and decorative materials from waste materials. The amount of GTP used in the glass batches was more than 65 wt% of the whole raw.
