“Microwave assisted weak alkali activation of waste glass”

Activated pharmaceutical glass waste after MW treatment. Microwave treatment allows to reduce the curing time of activated glass waste. In literature Microwaves have been used to harden metakaolin-based geopolimers but never for curing weak alkali activated glass powders. It is generally agreed that MW heating is more efficient, prevents the formation of temperature gradients through volumetric…
