Abstract (en)

[origin: US5233765A] Although an elevated process temperature is used for reprocessing used sands having high clay-like portions, the upper limit thereof is fixed such that chamottization of the sand and combustion of organic binder components do not occur. The air-gas mixture is circulated in a drier and a mechanical reprocessing step arranged downstream thereof and heated to process temperature by utilizing thermal energy obtained by branching off and burning part of the air-gas mixture from the circulation.
