INVESTIGATION OF THE PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SILICATE BRICKS BASED ON GLASS RESIDUE

The article examines the use of machinery and technology in various industries along with the development of productive forces in the era of modern scientific and technological progress. Therefore, conducting scientific and experimental research in this direction is an urgent problem, since the use of new raw materials, taking into account its chemical and mineralogical composition and physico-mechanical properties, the use of glass powder in the composition requires new scientific approaches to the development of technological parameters for the production of silicate bricks. Types of silicate bricks are lime-slag and lime-ash bricks. They are characterized by low density and thermal insulation properties of ordinary silicate bricks. For their preparation, slags or ash are used instead of quartz sand. The quality and technology of silicate brick production will depend on the physical an d chemical characteristics of the raw materials. If a small leak goes away from some indicators, then there will be an impact on the product parameters. Therefore, we must correctly determine the chemical, mineralogical and powdery degree of the raw material to which the glass residue is added, and create conditions for finding the optimal autoclave treatment and molding composition that affects the density and strength of the brick.
