Structural and microstructural aspects of asbestos-cement waste
The main goal of the work was to evaluate the vitrification process of asbestos-cement waste (ACW). A mixture of 50 wt% ACW and 50 wt% glass cullet was melted in an electric furnace at 1400 °C for 90 min and then cast into a steel mold. ... The milling was done dry, using a 250 cm 3 grinding bowl and 18 mm diameter zirconia …
