Abstract
One of the main tasks of geoecology is the
preservation of life-supporting resources of geosphere shells under the
influence of anthropogenic factors, their protection and rational use.
Currently, one of the promising areas for reducing negative technogenic impacts
on the environment and the population during construction and economic
activities is the creation of environmentally friendly energy-resource-saving
technologies, in which secondary raw materials are used instead of primary
ones, which allows reducing the volume of disposal of non-recyclable waste in
the environment and involving them into the resource cycle, while reducing the
volume of use of primary natural resources. Glass waste, the bulk of which is
cullet, is one of the main components of municipal solid waste (MSW), some
types of industrial waste and electronics. Non-recyclable waste glass, placed
in the environment without the necessary protective measures, causes
contamination of soils, surface and groundwater with leaching products, takes
land out of economic circulation as a result of contamination with traumatic
glass fragments, which leads to restrictions on the use of natural resources,
excessive wear of machines and mechanisms as a result damage to their moving
parts and elements. Cullet is reused to a small extent, and the most environmentally
hazardous lead-containing glass is not recycled at all and is not traditionally
separated from the general flow of cullet, which makes it difficult to involve
the material potential of glass waste in the resource cycle. Considering the
environmental hazard of non-recyclable glass waste, their recycling to produce
environmentally friendly building materials using low-waste technology is an
urgent task. This article is devoted to research to justify the possibility of
using cullet as an aggregate for the production of concrete, to study the
properties of the resulting concrete using cullet, to clarify the mechanism of
influence of cullet on the properties of concrete. Concrete containing powdered
glass has demonstrated excellent durability properties due to its finer porous
structure and compacted microstructure. The results showed that waste glass has
the potential to be used as coarse and fine aggregates in concrete production
and provided best practice recommendations for further research.
