In 1953 , (68 years ago for the arithmetically challenged) I worked for Kimble Glass Co. in Chicago Heights, Illinois. Most of our product lines were whiskey bottles for the major liquor companies in the States. We routinely "recycled" old glass bottles which were then used along with lime and other stuff which I don''t remember, to make the new glass bottles. The "recycling" we did was in large scale quantities commensurate with our high quantity production - I think we had 4 furnaces running continuously to supply the glass for several concurrent production lines. Old glass has routinely been a component of glass production because it requires less cost than mining and refining of new material.

@dtr125 4 жыл бұрын

I don't know what the costs of running those machines are compared to purchasing raw sand is, but it seems a good way of re-using glass in things like concrete. Also didn't realize it would revert back to sand colour when crushed fine enough, must be the way light refracts through the fine particles i guess.

I think it has something with licenses or something.... But some schools can collect 700-1200 usd in a "bottle collection day" around some neighborhoods, it keeps the streets clean and helps recycle those bottles that would most likely just end bu being thrown away in the trash if it wasn't for that $0.2-0.3 per bottle it's more of a 10:1 return policy and it works. We are working on implementing that same system, but in agricultural regions in developing countries like Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. people are more likely to recycle if they know they can get something back for it, and it would help poor people (especially children) a mean of extra income, in hopes of swaying them away from a life of crime.... that's the hope, the reality is probably it's going to get fucked by some politician :)

way back in 1974 I worked for Owens Illinois Glass Factory located Parkrose, Oregon. They separated the glass in 3 colors, brown, clear, and green. Then crushed and then sprinkled over the electric furnace melting the mix back into molten glass to be blown into bottles and jars. you might contact them.

@westtex3675 3 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I had always just assumed recycled glass was melted together to make new glass instead of crushed.

@James-bw4np 3 жыл бұрын

I worked as a glass installer and I had the same assumption. They told me that each manufacturer of glass used a slightly different "recipe" of chemicals to make their specific types of glass. And that if you just tried to melt that down and mix it up together, it would not work because current methods (as of 2014) would not be able to get the different glasses to mix evenly. It would be patchy and those patches would be weak points that would break at the slightest thing, even temperature changes of one side being at 40F and the other being at 70F. So a 30° temperature differential could cause the glass to break from "heat stress" oddly enough. This guy has it right though, that sand can be used in cement as an alternative to regular sand. So not as much recycle as re-purposing.

Nice, good work. You are defently going in the right direction. Consider colour sorting and then washing the glass maybe after the first crushing to remove food, paper and glue residues from the glass. The washing requires a drying step afterwards tho, so it might be not profitable enough. At my country (Germany) the glass can't get properly recycled if the colour contamination exceeds a certain percentage in one colour. One coloured glass can be mixed in with a new batch of glass in glass bottle production and can start a second life as beverage container.

I run a pool maintenance business in Perth Australia, and we use crushed glass as media for pool filters. The theory behind it is that the glass grains have sharper edges than the grains of sand so they can collect the dirt from the water more efficiently than the naturally occuring sand grains... but honestly I don't see much difference in perfermance between 16/30gr sand and the fine glass in performance. But hey, customers ask for it and we provide. The glass is a multigrade of some kind, if you look close you can see that it is a mix of different coloured glass. It looks much like glass and is applied the same as glass, but if you spill any while filling the filter you want to sweep it up because unlike sand, kneeling on glass pieces will do you some damage.

Very I teresting video on the process of converting glass to fine sand. Out of curiosity, is the sand found on the beaches the same as this final recycled sand you produce? Also, it's incredible to know how sandblasting at very high PSI can take rust out of metal objects. I saw this firsthand at a company a friend of mine used to work at.

I'm fascinated by this kind of stuff, so thanks for posting! I do have a question though, since there is no apparent pre-processing done to remove the labels on those bottles, how much does paper and adhesive affect the quality of the final product? Does this need to be further removed somehow, or does it all just flash-burn off when they re-form the glass into new feedstock? EDIT: Also, why isn't it necessary to separate the various colors of glass beforehand?

@isurumaddumage1922 2 жыл бұрын

Paper or small amount of organic material don't affect the final product. since it oxidize at glass melting temperature into water and carbon dioxide. the only things need to be separated are, metals, ceramics, stones and plastics.

Why crush so fine? We fabricated the structure 5 stories high for a recycling plant in Cape town. the glass is crushed to about the size you initially do. then its sorted to 5 colours using video cameras and a glass water fall with each piece of broken glass tracked and blown onto a specific conveyor with a air jet. plus minus 200 tons per shift. the sorted pieces ares stored in bunkers (cullet) and delivered to the appropriate furnace with massive cat front wns loaders. the fines (by product) are low value and are sent elswhere and get used as hydroponic growing medium. filter material and other uses

Another use is in the production of concrete in areas natural sand is expensive to produce by washing soils or because the waterways are protected for endangered species. Also, polished cement floors like in schools or government buildings (in the US) use glass to give high sheen and durability.

Love your work guys... I was curious if a wet shaker table would help sift small plastic and paper from the end product? I have thought long and hard on ways to recycle glass safely. Your system works, but the dust is extremely hazardous. I think a trommel style ball mill would work best, using water to prevent dust from escaping to harm the area, then having it feeding a shaker table to remove or wash the end product. Plastic and paper would wash out easily (possibly has a resale value), fine silica glass would run through (definite resale value), and metals would be recovered in particle sizes. Fewer moving parts and cleaner end materials?

@@wsl3666 I appreciate that, but any crushing process also produces quantities of tiny particles as well as the desired grit/sand. If this set-up were indoors I'd definitely be wearing some good respiratory gear. I used to work in very high silica sand stone and the dust - much finer than the particle size of the stone itself - permeates everything. Even wet processes, unless they are very thoroughly set up, allow quite a high spread of dust.

I’d say depends on how crushed/small you make it. There is “sharp” sand and stuff like diatomaceous earth is white powder is basically harmless to us and most animals, but to insects it’s sharp enough to cut through exoskeleton. so I would assume it works the same way.

The magnetic steel remover would be way more efficient if it were a stage, where the material is running on the actual belt, not the belt running over the material. Less magnetic force needed, more material removed. However probably 2 stages needed because of glass contamination after the first stage. At least that is how the local crushing line here is set up.
