Abstract

<jats:p> The main objective of this research is the explanation of the replacement of feldspar limestone imported from Spain with recycled automotive glass, in order to reduce waste and promote environmental sustainability. Details and efforts of making porcelain ceramics from local raw materials such as quartz, kaolin and glass are also given. Replacing the feldspar with reclaimed automotive glass shows the effect of the Na<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O and CaO solvents contained in the glass on the sintering and crystallization of the studied porcelain. The results showed that the added glass contributes to the reduction of the density and the acceleration of the sintering process, by occupying the sites of the open spaces, observed in the samples not containing feldspars. By reaching a nonporous ratio at a temperature of 1000<jats:sup>∘</jats:sup>C, the melting of the material is accelerated due to the dissolved oxides it contains, in addition to the linear shrinkage rate in samples that contain a lot of glass reaching the normal level of porcelain (about 12%) at low temperature compared to ordinary porcelain. </jats:p>
