The article presents the study results of new inorganic binders and the physicochemical processes of their
formation. The main purpose of the created materials is to make molds and cores for foundry production. Creating environmentally-friendly binders with a set of functional properties for foundry production is relevant worldwide.
Therefore, scientists from different countries are paying special attention to the study of silicate and phosphate
binders. The study analyzes the kinetics of the orthophosphoric acid interaction with several inorganic materials – pulverent pyrophyllite, disthene-sillimanite, a by-product of electrocorundum production, and sodium chloride. The phase and chemical composition of all formed binders have been established. In aluminum-containing
compositions, those are represented by aluminum orthophosphates in crystalline and amorphous forms. Sodium metaphosphate is formed in the composition with sodium chloride.
Peculiarities of the structuring compositions physical process with liquid glass and granular quartz filler due
to steam-microwave treatment are determined. It is shown that structuring occurs due to dehydration, which is
completed within 4…12 min, which allows reducing the liquid glass content in the composition to 1.5% while
ensuring a high level of strength. The properties of structured compositions with the developed binding components are researched, and it is shown that all of them are competitive. Recommendations for their possible application were created.
