Characterization of sand and sand–binder systems from the foundry industry with electrical impedance spectroscopy [PDF]
The global economy consumes an estimated 4×1010 t of sand per year, with only 2×1010 t of sand being reproduced by natural sedimentation (Götze and Göbbels, 2017; Peduzzi, 2014).

Meta-Transcriptomes From Microcosms From a Cr Impacted Soil Provides Insights Into the Metabolic Response of the Microbial Populations to Acetate Stimulation. [PDF]
Soil samples from below a COPR waste tip were used to inoculate microcosms which were challenged with Cr(VI). One microcosm was also supplemented with acetate. Microbiology was sampled and bacterial gene expression analysed. Created in BioRender. Baker (2025) https://BioRender.com/j84z498.

Effect of basicity on beneficiated chromite sand smelting process using submerged arc furnace [PDF]
Ferrochrome is an important alloy in stainless steel making due to its contribution to high strength and corrosion resistance. In this present study, ferrochrome was derived from Indonesian chromite sand with low-grade Cr/Fe ratio. In order to improve the ratio, beneficiation process such as pre-magnetic separation and reduction process at 1000°C for ...

Free Opening Performance of Steel Ladle as a Function of Filler Sand Properties [PDF]
The secondary steel refining process uses filler sand as a thermal insulating barrier that separates the liquid metal from direct contact with slide-gate system of the steel ladle. The effective use of this practice must provide a high free opening rate,

Conodont dating of the Middle Ordovician breccia cap-rock limestone on Osmussaar Island, northwestern Estonia [PDF]
Various mechanisms have hitherto been suggested to explain the formation of the Kundan (Middle Ordovician) Osmussaar Breccia in northwestern Estonia. Following the recent discovery of L-chondritic chromite in these peculiar, sand-penetrated strata, it ...

Assessment of Foundry Chromite Sand Crushability under Thermal-Mechanical Loading
When used for sand casting, foundry sand is stressed in several ways. These stresses, thermal and mechanical, compromise the grain integrity, resulting in size reduction and the production of small particles to the point where the sand is no longer viable for sand casting. This study evaluates the crushability of chromite sand, a crucial characteristic
