QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF FOUNDRY DUSTS.

Recycling has become a top priority research task in highly developed countries, addressed from the perspective of environmental protection as well as cost-effectiveness of products. In many countries, including Poland, landfilling is still commonly accepted as a method of choice for waste neutralisation. This paper presents results of studies on the environmental impact of iron-bearing foundry waste in the event of its landfill disposal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
