Abstract

The paper presents a semi-industrial reactor designed for microwave utilization of waste moulds and cores made of moulding sands prepared in furane resin technology. It was found that a possibility exists of effective incinerating this way prepared residues of cores separated from moulding sands or waste moulds left after casting. The preliminary tests evidenced that microwave heating is an effective way of disposing waste moulding sands and the applied apparatus permits effective control of the microwave heating process.
