[GreenYes] Re: industrial low thermal expansion waste

[David Jaber <djaber@no.address>]

Bob,

Semiconductor manufacturers are sources of aluminum oxide.  Ideally, it 
ends up as product, but due to product standards, there's often high 
quality material remaining.

On the foundry sand, my understanding is that it generally comes out of 
the process pretty clean, but you might test for residual binder (used 
to make the mold to hold the liquid metal) which can contain furans.   
Different casting processes use different binders.
