Figure 1: Foundry sand (waste) from William Cook plant in Leeds. Potential applications for foundry dust Foundry sand can be reclaimed and reused internally, especially so in foundries that utilise green sand. During re-circulation, the properties of foundry sand degrade and the material eventually becomes a waste.
The metal casting industry generates spent foundry sands. Foundries purchase new, sand to make casting molds, and the sand is reused numerous times within the foundry. This reuse eventually renders the sand unsuitable for use in casting molds, and a portion of the sand is .
Waste foundry sand (WFS), which is a hazardous byproduct from the foundry industry, is often contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs), such as Cu, Pb and Zn, and widely re-utilized as a ...

Foundry Sands. Foundry sand (also known as casting sand) consists primarily of clean, uniformly sized, high-quality silica sand that is bonded to form moulds for ferrous (iron and steel) and nonferrous (copper, aluminium, brass) metal castings. The most common casting process used in the foundry industry is the sand cast system.

Foundry sand is high quality silica sand used as a casting material in metal casting industry. Used foundry sand can contain a range of chemicals, as a result of the metals cast and the binding agents used. If placed in landfill there is a risk that these chemicals can leach into the environment.
Use of foundry sand in various engg. applications can solve the problem of disposal of foundry sand and other purposes. Foundry sand consists primarily of silica sand, coated with a thin film of burnt carbon, residual binder (bentonite, sea coal, resins) and dust. Foundry sand can be used in concrete to
