The firing behaviour of five waste glasses was studied to define key parameters able to predict bloating performances in industrial lightweight aggregates production. Bloating was investigated by hot-stage microscopy and laboratory kiln experiments, also with SiC as expanding agent. In-situ and ex-situ results were contrasted to shed light on the scale up process. Both macro- and microstructure of aggregates are related to the melt properties and crystallization phenomena. A phenomenological model for SiC-induced expansion was proposed. The glass chemical composition controls melt viscosity and kinetics of expansion, while the increase of aggregate size fosters the extent of bloating.
