The effect of firing temperature, soaking time and batch composition upon the glass phase and pore formation as well as their distribution in slag foamed glass was investigated. Sulfur dioxide gas produced by the oxidation and reduction of metal sulfide in waterslag was attributed to foam forming agent. Slag foamed glass matrix was mainly composed of 35~60% glas phase and melilite crystalline phase. The increment of bentonite addition in batch lowered the foam forming temperature in studied system. The result showed also that the foam size distribution was broadened as th firing temperature wa inbereased.
