This paper presents the characterization of spent foundry sand mixtures (SFS-M) and a new use in the production of concrete blocks for interlocking pavement. Cylindrical and hexagonal concrete blocks were made with the ...

In order to contribute to the sustainability of the foundry and construction industrial sectors, this work investigated the possibility of employing used foundry sand (UFS) in soil-cement bricks. Modular bricks were prepared ...

This paper evaluated the reuse of WFS mixed with lateritic clayey soils in pavements sub-bases and bases. Two lateritic clayey soils and one chemically bonded WFS were used in this study. A laboratory program was conducted ...

Industrial processes are activities that produce large amounts of wastes. Often these wastes are disposed in dam or landfills, occupying large areas and causing environmental damage such as the contamination of water and ...

The environmental issue has been occupying more space on the national scene. The increasing stringency of the laws makes this thematic focus of great attention. In this context, the foundry appears as a great recycler to ...

The management and final disposal of industrial wastes are a matter of considerable human concern. The present study evaluates the cyto/genotoxic effects and changes of the coelomic cell formulas exerted by aqueous leachates ...
