Bottom ash is a mineral coal residue resulting from thermoelectric power plants which has often been downgraded to industrial waste status. This by-product, which mainly constitutes silica and alumina, shows specific characteristics that can be used as raw materials in glass-ceramics production. This research was to study the development of the Li20-Al203-SiO2 glass-ceramics system from mineral coal bottom ash. Lithium carbonate was used to help obtain glass melts and rutile as nucleating agent.
