Исследование структурно-механических свойств отходов литейного производства

The purpose of the paper is to investigate utilization of foundry wastes for production of building materials. The paper shows how to solve the problem concerning recycling of wastes and economy of natural resources. Waste moulding sand and granulated cupola slag are considered in the paper. The paper has studied structural and mechanical properties of the investigated powders. Optimal ratios of the used material fi*actions ensuring obtaining of silicate brick that meets the requirements of the current standards have been determined in the paper.
