Abstract:
One of the most pressing problems facing metal casting industry today is the disposal of foundry by-products. Foundry industry produces a big amount of wastes (or by products?) that generate in every step of foundry process. Cast iron foundries generate next types of wastes: used sand mixtures (92,93%), slags (3,5%), used refractory material (0,17%), fly dust from furnaces (1,42%), dust comes from sand mixtures – preparing and handling (0,66%) and dust from finishing operations – castings cleaning, grinding (1,32%). Disposal of foundry by-products is a large cost for foundry industry, whether disposal occurs in company-owned facilities or in municipal or privately owned landfills.The authors have been attending to properties and treatment of foundry wastes ( above all foundry dusts and slags) for some years and on the base of results obtained during their research the possibilities of wastes (by-products?) recycling in steel and cast iron foundry will be proposed (with regard to condition in Slovak foundries).
