Performance of waste foundry sand concrete in sulfate environment [PDF]
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.

Engineering Journal, 2017 Abstract: The metal casting industry discharges huge volumes of waste foundry sand yearly. It was estimated to be 250 thousand tons of spent silica foundry sand for the existing 200 casting facilities in South Africa. Even though, establish documents exist in regards to the foundry sand composition, few well documented theories are available in regards

Can waste foundry sand fully replace structural concrete sand? [PDF]
Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management, 2018 Foundry sand (FS) waste creates a serious solid waste management problem worldwide due to the high volumes produced, necessitating alternatives to landfilling. A possible route is its use in concrete; however, the current consensus is that FS can only be used for modest sand replacements, based mostly on evidence on concrete with clay-bound FS ...

Assessment of Foundry Chromite Sand Crushability under Thermal-Mechanical Loading [PDF]
Archives of Foundry Engineering, 2023 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 ...
