The thermal regeneration procedure was carried out at a temperature of 525°C, the required temperature determined according to a specific procedure, and a lower and less effective temperature of 400°C. On the basis of the ignition losses, the influence of the regeneration temperature on the effects of the procedures carried out was compared. It was found that 400°C was too low to effectively clean the binder matrix, but that the more resin in the spent sand, the more intense the cleaning effect. When the required regeneration temperature for furfuryl resin of 523°C was used, higher binder degradation kinetics were observed due to the additional energy supplied to the process from the combustion of a large amount of organic material in the moulding sand.}, type={Article}, title={Influence of the Amount of Resin in the Spent Furfuryl Mass on the Thermal Regeneration Process}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/129626/PDF-MASTER/AMM-2023-4-02-Lucarz.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2023.146187}, keywords={thermal reclamation, thermal analysis, ignition losses, furfuryl resin}, }
