Popis: Hazardous materials like barium and lead present in discarded Cathode Ray Tubes, CRT's, may represent a big problem to the environment if they are not properly disposed. In the present study, solidification/stabilization of crushed waste CRT (CRT glass particles), through a calcined kaolin base-geopolymer as metal-immobilizer is presented. Two different compositions of raw materials using 5, 10, and 20% wt of CRT glass particles were studied. The geopolymers were analyzed by XRD, SEM, TG-DTA/DSC, FTIR, leaching tests. The microhardness of coatings on mild steel was tested. The results and the differences in properties are explained based on the microstructure evolution of the geopolymer with CRT glass particles. The results showed that low alkaline medium was effective in the encapsulation of toxic heavy metals from the CRT glass even though they were used as coatings on mild steel samples.
