Abstract

The cement industry is currently grappling with numerous challenges, primarily stemming from substantial emissions of greenhouse gases, intensive energy utilization, and excessive exploitation of natural resources. Consequently, the prospect of substituting waste materials for virgin raw materials emerges as a viable solution to address environmental issues while simultaneously mitigating the consumption of Earth’s finite resources. Within the scope of this investigation, waste glass powder (GP) derived from end-of-life fluorescent lamps and silica fume (SF) were employed as pozzolanic substances to partially replace Portland cement (PC). The experimental procedures encompassed evaluations of flowability, density, compressive strength, direct tensile strength, and flexural strength at 7, 28, and 90 days, in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. According to the results, the contribution of SF and GP with cement led to improve the mechanical properties of cement mortar. The 5% was the appropriate proportion for both of SF and GP which were used as pozzolanic materials. Furthermore, this studyproposes an alternative method for reusing hazardous waste by directly incorporating GP without prior washing to reduce mercury content. This approach aims to decrease the use of Portland cement (PC), thus promoting environmental sustainability and resource efficiency.
