Abstract

The present study uses RSM (Response Surface Methodology) to verify the fusibility of bottom ash from coal industry, and efficient flux between, calcium oxide (CaO), lithium oxide (Li 2O) and sodium oxide (Na2O). The bottom ashes, have demonstrated the possibility to be used in the development of glass-ceramics, and glassy materials, due to the presence of high concentrations of aluminum silicates. Different oxides agents were added to enhance the manufacturing process. However, selecting the best combination between these agents is a need. After using this RSM methodology it was found that the mixture of 50% by mass of sodium and lithium oxide the most significant for reducing the melting and softening temperature.
