Comparison of Laboratory and Industrial Surface Treatment of Cement Composites with Complete Replacement of Natural Aggregate with Recycled Photovoltaic Glass

This paper presents the results of experimental research focused on the production of a cement composite in which natural aggregate was entirely replaced by recycled glass recovered from photovoltaic panels. The resulting cement composites were subjected to measurements of their physical and mechanical properties, followed by surface treatment (polishing) carried out under both laboratory and industrial conditions. Surface image analysis showed that the selected polishing process enabled the creation of a uniformly treated surface without compromising the internal structure of the innovative composite.
