Spend foundry sand valorisation in construction sector through the validation of high-performance applications (LIFE ECO-SANDFILL)
Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2019,
Background
There are around 3 000 active foundry operations in Europe that annually generate over 9 million tonnes of waste sand, with ferrous industries the major generators. Only 25% of this Spent Foundry Sand (SFS) is recycled for a few applications, mainly by the cement industry, but these sectors are unable to absorb the total amount of sand generate ...

Robust, and FLEXible CAST iron manufacturing (FLEXICAST)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
The FLEXICAST project presents knowledge-based technologies that aim to follow the way to transform the conventional (batch-by-batch) foundry process into a flexible (mold-by-mold) process. The proposal technologies will be applicable not only to new cast iron foundry lines, but also is readily available to be retro-fitted to existing plants. The specific objectives are:a)A cast iron production ce ...
