Waste Foundry Sand in Concrete Production Instead of Natural River Sand: A Review. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2022 The by-product of the foundry industry is waste foundry sand (WFS). The use of WFS in building materials will safeguard the ecosystem and environmental assets while also durable construction. The use of industrial waste in concrete offsets a shortage of environmental sources, solves the waste dumping trouble and provides another method of protecting ...

Hydromechanical behaviour of a waste foundry sand [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesWaste foundry sands are a byproduct of cast-metal processes. There is minimal geotechnical characterisation of these artificial soils in the literature, and as such their potential applications in construction have not been extensively explored.

Recycling of waste foundry sands by chemical washing method [PDF]
China Foundry, 2019 This study aims to remove the metals (inorganic and heavy metals) in waste foundry sand (WFS) via chemical washing method. Washed waste foundry sand (WWFS) samples were obtained by using triptych washing successively with 5 M HCl, 5 M H2SO4 and 5M NaOH

Performance of waste foundry sand concrete in sulfate environment
Magazine of Civil Engineering, 2023 Waste foundry sand is generated by the metal casting industry and has great potential to be used as a construction material. Nearly 70 % of the waste foundry generated is disposed of as a landfill which poses a threat to the surrounding environment.
