Abstract

A foamed glass article for preparing surfaces, the use therefor, and a method of making same are provided. The foamed glass article is in the form of a block, disk or similar product, and is used for preparing surfaces such as by sanding, rubbing and scraping the same to clean, abrade, polish, smooth, or the like such a surface. The foamed glass article is formed from a starting mixture that comprised waste glass, 0.10-20 % by weight of a non-sulfur based foaming agent, and optionally an additional abrasive material. A mixture of powdered waste glass and non-sulfur based foaming agent can be placed in a mold and heated so that the mixture sinters and subsequently foams. Thereafter, the foamed mixture is annealed.

Claims

- 5- PCT/US97/05816AMENDED CLAIMS| received by the International Bureau on 26 September 1997 (26.09.97); original claims 1-3 and 8-10 amended; remaining claims unchanged (3 pages)]
1. A foamed glass article as a means to treat a hard surface to remove material therefrom, characterized in that said article is formed from a starting mixture that comprised waste glass and 0.10-20% by weight of a non-sulfur based foaming agent.
2. A foamed glass article according to claim 1 , characterized in that said starting mixture comprised 69.9-99.9% by weight waste glass, 0.10-20% foaming agent, and 0-30.0% by weight of abrasive material, said foaming agent preferably being selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, strontium carbonate, lithium carbonate, barium carbonate, sugar, urea, water and mixtures thereof, and said abrasive material preferably being selected from the group consisting of sand, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, garnet, similar abrasive grits, and mixtures thereof, whereby said foamed glass article can have the shape of a block or disk.
3. A method of making foamed glass as a means to treat a hard surface to remove material therefrom, said method characterized by the steps of: providing powdered waste glass; mixing a non-sulfur based foaming agent with said powdered waste glass to form a mixture; placing said mixture onto a surface; heating said mixture so that said mixture sinters and subsequently foams; and annealing said foamed mixture by cooling same to room temperature to form a foamed glass product.
4. A method according to claim 3, characterized in that said mixing step comprises mixing 0.10-20% by weight of said foaming agent with said powdered waste glass, especially 0.5-5.0% by weight of said foaming agent.
5. A method according to claim 3, characterized in that said placing step comprises placing said mixture onto a continuous belt, onto a plate, or into at least one mold, and preferably placing at least one mound of said mixture into said at least one mold, especially at least one row of such mounds, whereby said mixture can be placed into a single mold or into a plurality of molds.
6. A method according to claim 3, characterized in that said heating step comprises the steps of first heating said mixture to a sintering temperature, and subsequently increasing said temperature to effect said foaming, or said heating step comprises first heating said mixture to a temperature of about
1250° F, maintaining this temperature for a given period of time, and then increasing said temperature to 1274-1700° F.
7. A method according to claim 3, characterized in that said annealing step comprises the steps of first rapidly cooling said foamed mixture to a temperature below a foaming temperature, and then slowly cooling said foamed mixture to room temperature, whereby, after said annealing step, any glassy skin that is formed on said product can be removed, and said foamed glass product can be cut into articles having a specific geometry.
8. A method according to claim 6, characterized in that said providing step comprises providing 69.9-99.9% by weight waste glass, said mixing step comprises mixing 0.10-20% by weight foaming agent, and which includes the further step of _ _
adding 0-30.0% by weight of abrasive material to said mixture prior to said placing step, said foaming agent preferably being selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, strontium carbonate, lithium carbonate, barium carbonate, sugar, urea, water, and mixtures thereof, and said abrasive material is selected from the group consisting of sand, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, garnet, similar abrasive grits and mixtures thereof.
9. The product made by the process of claim 3, for use as a means to treat a hard surface to remove material therefrom.
10. A method of treating a hard surface to remove material therefrom, characterized by the steps of: providing a foamed glass articled formed from a starting mixture that comprised waste glass, 0.10-20% by weight of a non-sulfur based foaming agent, and 0 to 30.0% by weight abrasive material; and contacting said surface with said foamed glass article and providing relative movement between said article and said surface, wherein said step of contacting can comprise sanding, rubbing, scraping, degreasing, polishing, removing rust or stains, cleaning, or smoothing such surfaces as wood, metal, plastic, fiberglass, porcelain, enameled surfaces, concrete, or tiles, and said abrasive material can be sand, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, garnet, similar abrasive grits, and mixtures thereof.
