The sand is reused numerous times within the foundry operation itself. However, over time the sands become unusable and are referred to as spent foundry sands. The spent foundry sands are then reused in a number of ways, including as an ingredient in potting soil and as a foundation layer in roadway construction.
The foundry industry generates large amounts of spent foundry sands, which are stored, available for recovery in other industrial sectors but unfortunately …
The spent foundry sand is either recycled in non-foundry applications or landfilled. In 2007, the American Foundry Society estimated Exit that less than 30 percent of the 10 million tons of spent foundry sands generated annually are recycled. EPA believes a greater percentage of spent foundry sand can be safely and economically …

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A study by scientists at The Ohio State University played a key role in a recent public health and environmental risk assessment of reusing spent foundry sands, or SFS, in certain soil-related uses. The sands are a byproduct from the metal casting industry. Nicholas Basta, professor of soil and environmental science, and Elizabeth …
In our demonstrative application of the method, we provide an updated estimate for spent foundry sand and find that its total amount in the United States decreased from 2.2–7.1 million tons in ...
spent chemical foundry sands. In the study of Mavroulidou and Lawrence [13] this type of spent foundry sand alters less the properties of the concretes in comparison with spent green foundry sands, while the results vary depending on the initial concrete formulation in the work of Etxeberria et al. [16].

Foundry sand has been used as a substitute for fine aggregate in asphalt paving mixes. It has also been used as a fine aggregate substitute in flowable (or controlled density) fill applications. Prior to use, spent foundry sand requires crushing or screening to reduce or separate oversized materials that may be present.
However, because the use of spent foundry sand (SFS) is currently very limited in the concrete industry, this study investigates whether SFS can successfully be used as a sand replacement material in cost-effective, green, selfconsolidating concrete (SCC). In the study, SCC mixtures were developed to be even more inexpensive and environmentally ...
EPA's risk assessment for the beneficial uses of spent foundry sands found that that silica-based spent foundry sands produced by iron, steel and aluminum foundries can be safely reused to save energy, reduce the need to mine materials, …
Pathak and Siddique [12] studied the use of spent foundry sand and fly ash on the properties of self-compacting-concrete (SCC) at elevated temperatures. Fly ash (30–50%) has been used as partial replacement of cement, whereas spent foundry sand (10%) as partial replacement of sand.
Abstract: An evaluation on the use of spent foundry sand (SFS) in the production of concrete has been carried out. The material SFS, was properly characterized and used in proportions of 0 %, 10 %, 20 %, 30 % and 40 % by weight of fine aggregate and cured under laboratory conditions for up to 90 days.
Other spent sands with higher TEQs were sands 2 and 10 (iron and steel green sands), at 0.68 and 0.91 ng 1, respectively. In sand 2, 49%, 32%, and 19% of the TEQ TEQ kg was attributed to PCDDs, PCDFs, and PCBs, respectively. In sand 10, 44%, 51%, and 5% was attributed to the TEQ, respectively. In the remaining SFSs, PCDDs and PCDFs …

The construction industry requires natural sand for many applications. The recycled sand obtained from industrial operations can also be utilized in construction activities. Many industries generate waste sand as a byproduct. The material generated from this discarded molds and cores is usually known as "used foundry sand," "waste …
There have been few investigations related to the use of spent foundry sand in concrete [1–14]. In the literature, spent foundry sand is also reported as waste foundry sand (WFS) and used-foundry sand (UFS). Naik et al. [1] investigated the influence of spent foundry sand on cast concrete products such as brick, block and paving stone.
Spent foundry sand is a by-product of ferrous and non-ferrous metal casting industries. Foundries successfully recycle and reuse the sand many times in a foundry. When the sand can no longer be reused in the foundry, it is removed from the foundry and is termed as spent foundry sand. Published literature has shown that SFS could be …
