Review article

The data of the research on the possibility of using technogenic raw materials (refractory waste of metallurgical furnaces) in the technology of building materials are presented. The authors propose a basic technological scheme for processing the refractory waste so as to obtain a binding material, namely, magnesia cement. The data of the laboratory studies of the chemical and mineral composition of technogenic raw materials are presented. There was performed a laboratory approbation of the technological process, during which a sample of magnesia cement was obtained. There were made standard samples of the solution based on the synthesized binder. The strength parameters of the solution were evaluated.
