The depletion of natural sources of sand has triggered a considerable amount of research regarding the utilization of manufactured sands in concrete production. In this context, the excess of dust in manufactured sands is ...

Manufactured sands are particulate materials obtained as by product of rock crushing. Particle sizes in the sand can be as high as 6 mm and as low as a few microns. The concrete industry has been increasingly using these ...

The contribution of the metalworking sector to the gross domestic product is decreased by 8.6% in the 2017–2018 period because of problems such as high rejection rates, lead times, and raw material losses. Consequently, ...

This work addresses the performance of an own design equipment to classify and clean manufactured sands in a novel sustainable air classification process. The proposed methodology does not use water as the main advantage ...

The foundry sand agglomerated with alkaline phenolic resin, used for the manufacture of molds, was found to be a residue which is able to be recycled, minimizing the costs of disposal and the environmental impact. This ...
