Fundamentals of obtaining liquid glass from industrial wastes

The potential of obtaining liquid glass from a man-made material — microsilica is demonstrated. A characteristic feature of microsilica liquid glass is found — the presence of carbon impurities in the form of graphite and β-silicon carbide. The role of impurities in microsilica during production of liquid glass is disclosed.
