Abstract

Currently, there is a great environmental problem due to excessive generation of solid waste, many of these are classified as hazardous waste, therefore multiple technologies have emerged for their treatment, among these, vitrification is highlighted. This process is based on incorporating the dangerous elements into a glass network, therefore it requires a vitreous agent or glass forming (Silica, SiO2). The aim of this work was to evaluate chemical and physical characteristics of a sand waste, in order to use it as a vitreous agent. The waste sand comes from a Colombian glass industry and its generation is approximately 120 tons per month. The characterization of the residue was performed, in terms of particle size, density, morphology, chemical and mineralogical composition.  Finally, it is concluded that the residue has vitrifying agent characteristics; it also has great potential to be used in different applications.
