Glass Powder
摘要
Glass powder, derived from ground recycled glass or waste glass, is increasingly recognized for its role as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in the production of cement and concrete. This eco-friendly alternative not only helps in reducing landfill waste but also enhances the mechanical and durability properties of concrete. When used in concrete, glass powder can partially replace Portland cement, thereby reducing the carbon footprint associated with cement manufacturing. The pozzolanic reaction of glass powder with calcium hydroxide released during cement hydration leads to the formation of additional calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), the primary binding phase in concrete, which improves the strength and durability of the material.
