 INTRODUCTION
• The world suffers from contamination of the
environment due to improper waste
management.
• The large amount of fish waste and fish by-
product is discarded into the environment and
it is converted to the important source of
pollution.
 INTRODUCTION
• Fish bones is a good source of high quality
calcium.
• Foam glass has a wide use in construction
and other fields.
 RESEARCH
OBJECTIVES
• The researchers aim to make a foam glass
from fish bones as natural source of calcium
carbonate.
 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

• 1. What is the durability of the foam glass?

• 2. Is there a significant difference between the made foam
glass from fish bones and the foam glass that is available in the
market?
• The parameters that will be used to answer the problems are:
• a. Compression
• b. Water absorption
• c. Thermal conductivity; and
• d. Porosity Test
RESEARCH MATERIALS
Fish bones
Glass wastes
Industrial Glass Crusher
Mortar and pestle
Weighing scale
Kiln
Molder
Sodium hydroxide
Ethanol solution
 RESEARCH METHODS
• Extracting calcium carbonate from fish
bones using alkaline treatment method
• Powderizing fish bones using mortar and
pestle
• Crushing the glass wastes using the
Industrial Glass Crusher
 RESEARCH METHODS
• Adding the powderized fish bones and the
coal powder to the grinded glass
• Heating the mixture of powderized fish
bones and grinded glass at 700°C-900°C
using Kiln
• Molding the melted mixture of powderized
fish bones and grinded glass
