DISPOSAL OF USED FORMING MIXTURES FROM FOUNDRIES OF MACHINE- BUILDING PLANTS IN THE PRODUCTION OF PERFORATED MATERIAL

The waste of foundries of machine-building plants - spent moulding mixtures was studied. The expediency of using spent mixtures of foundry production as a siliceous component of foam concrete mixtures has been proven. The spent mixtures were studied for their foaming ability. The foam properties are determined. The effect of concrete mixture components on the pore-forming ability of foam agents was investigated. Of the six foaming agents studied in the work, saponified tree resin was found to be the most effective.
