Abstract :

In this paper, characterization of Wollastonite glass-ceramic consists of food wastes that are prepared by using SLS glass bottle and cockle shells, has been carried out. The cockle shells decompose the calcium oxide, CaO under thermal decomposition process, by eliminating carbon dioxide (CO₂) at the temperature 900°C. The XRF analysis of Wollastonite glass-ceramic has been done to determine its chemical compositions. The XRF result shows that, the major elements existed within the samples were CaO and SiO₂. But for the density, as the sintering temperature increase the density will be also increased.
