Abstract

This work, the effect of Fe2O3 and MnO2-doped waste glasses in formula (100−x)waste glasses: x Fe2O3/MnO2 (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 mol%) were prepared using melt quenching technique and all glass sampled were investigated on physical and optical properties. The results exhibited that the density and refractive index of glass samples increased with Fe2O3/MnO2 content increased. The color of Fe2O3 and MnO2-doped waste glasses displayed yellow and purple, respectively, because of absorbance for Fe2O3 near 440 nm and 1,000 nm which homogeneous distribution of Fe3+ (440 nm: 6A1g(S) → 4T2g(G)) and Fe2+ (1,000 nm: 5T2g(D) → 5Eg(D)) ions in the glass matrices while MnO2 around 486 nm as absorption band is assigned to a single allowed 6A1g(S) → 4T1g(G) transition which arises from the Mn3+ ions (3d4 configuration) in octahedral symmetry. Moreover, the CIE L*a*b* for all glass samples were also investigated. The results indicated that glass production from waste glasses is possible and option for recycling waste glasses to produce artificial gems.
