Sulconcrete®

The answer to the question of copper and other non-ferrous metals’ post flotation wastes

Manufacturing technology of products based on wastes from the process of mining, and the processing of nonferrous metals and waste sulphur. The innovativeness of the process is related to the method of liquid waste sulphur polymerisation using post-flotation wastes and in its application as bonding for the production of sulphur concrete.

Ready concrete mass is formed into products applied in road, railroad, hydro-technical infrastructure and in construction. The possibility of granulating the sulphur concrete in order to transport it as a packed semi-finished product for large distances and execution of construction elements directly at a site represent global innovation. It provides new applications for sulphur concretes that have been unavailable until now.

Advantages

The durability and long lifetime of products

No costs related to servicing and installation, products do not corrode and are not subject to the effects of adverse weather conditions, they do not become overgrown with algae and there is no need to paint them or to protect them with paints or varnishes

100% recyclable, each product can be remade again without any loss

Ecological features of the solution, the technology does not require the use of water and the low energy consumption of the process results in the reduction of CO² emissions
