The ongoing sustainable reduction in natural resources is prompting companies to look for materials reuse that were previously classified as waste. Uses are sought them either their existing area of use or other areas the economy. In many cases, this difficult. aim research see if there a possibility reusing grain matrix, major component spent moulding sand was perhaps diverted too early waste landfill. This study included three samples unknown origin from landfills. A collected carried out identify and characterise impurities accumulated on surface matrix grains. Sieve analyses, scanning photographs, chemical analysis with microscope performed. morphology assessed using confocal microscope, composition analyses performed LIBS laser-induced emission spectroscopy LIBS. thermogravimetric analysis, ignition loss, gas formability tested subjected high temperatures most efficient method organic disposal. earlier repeated resulting material. It found only one samples, case application thermal reclamation sand, allowed obtaining (quartz sand) purity scale foundry industry after further treatments industries. wastes analysed require intensive mechanical treatment, which does not guarantee, due shape expected quartz or, abrasive influences, satisfactory yield.
