The production of Er3+-doped willemite glass-ceramic using waste soda lime silica (SLS) glass was reported in this study. The precursor glass and glass-ceramics were prepared using conventional melt-quenching technique with empirical formula (Er2O3)x[(ZnO)0.5(SLS)0.5]1-x where x = 1 wt.% and sintere...
