Recycling of sulfur polymers derived from the purification process of copper and other non-ferrous metals in concrete composites

Abstract

The article presents the possibility of recycling industrial sulfur waste in concrete composites. The results of tests on compressive strength, bending tensile strength and frost resistance for concrete with 20, 30 and 40% sulfur polymers are presented. The research results allowed to determine the areas of application of this type of sulfur concrete. In addition, the article draws particular attention to the problem of storage and recycling of industrial waste generated by the mining and mining industries, industrial processing as well as energy production and supply.
