Used foundry sands (UFSs) represent the highest amount of solid wastes generated by foundries. Classified by European Union regulations as nonhazardous waste, they represent a relevant source to be reused in several industrial sectors, in building construction primarily. In this chapter, the physical and chemical properties of UFSs have been reported, with particular attention on metal content and relative leaching behavior. The state of the art on modern engineering applications and the role of UFSs in green and sustainable construction have been described.

Abstract
Used foundry sands (UFSs) represent the highest amount of solid wastes generated by foundries. Classified by European Union regulations as nonhazardous waste, they represent a relevant source to be reused in several industrial sectors, in building construction primarily. In this chapter, the physical and chemical properties of UFSs have been reported, with particular attention on metal content and relative leaching behavior. The state of the art on modern engineering applications and the role of UFSs in green and sustainable construction have been described.File in questo prodotto:
