Porous glass is inexpensive, non-toxic and non-combustible; for the preliminary tests, it was successfully manufactured in large quantities of several hundred kilograms.

Controlled pore glass (CPG) is a high silica glass that includes pores with a particular size distribution. Porous glasses can be fabricated into a wide variety of geometric forms (such as beads, frit ...

Recycled Glass Key Component Although various kinds of porous pavements have been around for more than 25 years, the FilterPave system is the first to use recycled glass as one of its components.

The glass is porous at two scales, containing nanopores that measure up to 20 nanometers in diameter and macropores measuring 100 microns or wider. One nm equals one one-billionth of a meter ...

A completed section of path shows the color and smoothness of the finish. Water percolates through the pavement into the ground, where it is returned to the water table naturally. A new kind of ...
