Abstract

Recycling is the method used to reduce the environmental impact of large volumes of materials, the sparing use of resources is another relevant factor here. The waste materials which occur in the foundry and st eel industry alongside the target products most be used elsewhere or returned to the foundry and steelmaking processes. The result will be that the need to dispose of material s will be greatly reduced , so alleviating the demand for landfill capacity. In addition, raw material depo sits will be conserved and energy saved, which in turn will indirectly relieve the burden on the environment. The contribution shows the possibilities of re cycling the foundry wastes from different process stages extending from moulding an d cores production to the castings cleaning and grinding of the castings in foundry sh op and from sintering production to the manufacture of surface-treated sheets.
