Solidification of cathode ray tube (CRT) panel glass was carried out using a hydrothermal processing method. In this way, the glass powder was first compacted in a mold at 20 MPa, and then hydrothermally cured in an autoclave under saturated steam pressure at 200 ℃ for 6 h. The CRT panel glass was then hydrothermally solidified by the formation of tobermorite (Ca₅Si₆O₁₆(OH)₂·4H₂O), which was encouraged by the addition of slaked lime (Ca(OH)₂). The strength of solidified specimen heavily depended on the amount of tobermorite formed, with higher concentrations of tobermorite producing commensurately greater mechanical strength. With the addition of Ca(OH)₂ at 20–30% by mass, the specimen achieved a bending strength of approximately 16 MPa, which was sufficiently great for using as a construction material. As such, there is cause to believe that the hydrothermal processing method used here may have great potential for resource utilization of CRT panel glass, and the performance of the product is suitable for use as building materials.
