Waste foundry sand is also recognized as used foundry sand (UFS) or spent foundry sand (SFS) . UFS's small particulates are enough too. The type of material to be poured defines the physical and chemical properties of the metal to be injected. These characteristics can vary quite a bit from one foundry to another.

AFS has created a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for spent foundry sand that applies to approximately 80% of foundry sand, covering sands from iron, steel, and aluminum foundries under specific circumstances. Typically, the required risk assessment will identify these sands as non-hazardous, industrial solid waste with a broad array of acceptable …

The sand is reused numerous times within the foundry operation itself. However, over time the sands become unusable and are referred to as spent foundry sands. The spent foundry sands are then reused in a number of ways, including as an ingredient in potting soil and as a foundation layer in roadway construction.

The spent foundry sand, that is, the sand that is removed, is either recycled in a non-foundry application or landfilled. Estimates are that less than 15 percent of the 6-10 million tons of spent foundry sands generated annually is recycled. The Agency believes a greater percentage of spent foundry sand can be safely and economically recycled.

The disposed-off silica sand is named as waste or spent or used foundry sand (SFS). Estimated generation of SFS is approximately one ton for every ton of metal casting [48], [49]. Globally, about 109 million tons of metal castings [50] produce equivalent to about 6–10% of the total weight of castings as spent foundry sand [51] annually and ...
