Reclamation of the Inorganic Spent Sand from the Warm-Box Technology in the REGMAS Reclaimer

The results of investigations of the reclamation of spent inorganic moulding sands from the warm-box technology are presented in the paper. The reclamation was performed in the prototype vibratory reclaimer: REGMAS. Water-glass with some organic additions influencing its knocking out properties was the binder of this spent sand. The following indices were applied for the reclaimability assessment: ignition loss, Na2O content, dusts amounts generated in the reclamation process, pH value of the reclaim as well as strength of moulding sands prepared with the reclaimed material, with the fresh sand and with the mixture: fresh sand-reclaim.
