Road Marking Glass Microspheres Fabricated from Rice Husk Ash

In this work, it is reported a comparison between solid microspheres produced from glass having conventional industrial sand (IS) and glasses made with rice husk ashes (RHA) as a source of silica. The same composition was used to fabricate both glasses. The focused was the production of glass micros...

description In this work, it is reported a comparison between solid microspheres produced from glass having conventional industrial sand (IS) and glasses made with rice husk ashes (RHA) as a source of silica. The same composition was used to fabricate both glasses. The focused was the production of glass microspheres for road horizontal marking, which would attend the type classification called Premix. The microspheres were obtained by the horizontal flame method. The results showed that characteristics such as production yield, morphology, granulometry and, mainly, retroreflectivity measurements are not altered when rice husk ash is present in the glass composition, showing that this can be a sustainable alternative material for this important application.
