Abstract

Microstructures of free surface and interior of glass-ceramics obtained by heat treating silicate glass specimen containing electric arc furnace dust(EAF dust) were observed. The crystallization temperature, $T_c$ of glassy specimen was measured around $850^{\circ}C$ from the result of different thermal analysis so heat treatment temperature to obtain glass-ceramic specimen was selected as $950^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. Glass specimens containing 50 wt% dust were amorphous, while glass specimens containing 70 wt% dust showed spinel crystal peaks in XRD results. In case of glass-ceramic specimens, spinel crystalline phase was appeared with willemite, and willemite crystal peak intensity increased with increasing dust contents. The fractured surface of glass specimens containing 50 wt% dust was smooth like mirror surface, but that containing 70 wt% dust showed spinel crystals of 10 ${\mu}m$ size in glass matrix. In case of glass-ceramic specimens, ZnO crystal particles of $2{\sim}5{\mu}m$ size were produced in free surface and glassy phase, spinel and willemite crystal phases existed in interior. There were no crystals in glasses containing 50 wt% dust, while glass containing 70 wt% dust had 14 vol% crystals. Crystallinity of glass-ceramic specimens containing 50 and 70 wt% dust were 19 and 43%, respectively. When microstructures of glass and glass-ceramic specimens were observed through SEM after TCLP experiment, glass specimens showed flaking phenomenon while glass-ceramic specimens showed a slight corrosion evidence without any cracks.

제강분진(EAF dust, 이하 더스트)이 첨가된 규산염계 유리 프리트를 용융하여 유리 시편을 제조하고, 이를 열처리하여 결정화 시킨 후 표면 및 내부의 미세구조를 관찰하였다. 제조된 유리의 DTA 분석결과 결정화온도($T_c$)는 $850^{\circ}C$ 부근이었으며 이로부터 열처리 온도를 $950^{\circ}C$로 정하였다. XRD 분석결과 더스트가 50wt% 들어간 유리시편은 비정질 상태였으나 70wt% 들어간 유리시편은 spinel 결정상이 나타났다. 결정화유리시편은 spinel 및 willemite 결정상이 함께 나타나며 더스트의 첨가량이 증가할수록 willemite 결정상이 증가하였다. 더스트의 함유량이 50wt%인 유리시편의 경우 연마된 절단면이 거울 표면같이 매끄러운 상태였으나 70wt% 첨가된 경우에는 유리질의 모상(glass matrix)내에 최대 10mm 크기의 spinel 결정상이 존재하였다. 결정화유리시편의 경우에는 자유표면에 $2{\sim}5{\mu}m$ 크기의 ZnO 결정입자들이 생성되었고, 내부에는 유리상, spinel 그리고 willemite 결정상이 혼재하였다. 더스트가 50wt% 첨가된 유리는 결정입자가 존재하지 않았으나 70wt% 첨가된 유리시편에는 14%의 결정이 존재하였다. 더스트가 50 및 70wt% 첨가된 결정화유리시편의 결정화도는 각각 19 및 43% 이었다. 결정화 전후 시편들을 TCLP 용액에 18시간 담근 후 SEM을 통하여 미세구조를 관찰했을 때 유리시편에는 균열이 발생하였으나, 결정화유리시편의 경우 침식흔적은 나타났으나 균열은 존재하지 않았다.
