The study of the reclamation of waste CO 2 moulding sands aims to exercise further studies on treatment of CO 2 waste moulding sands and to ensure the final chemical composition of the CO 2 waste moulding sands. The research gives information about the potential of waste sand reclamations. In addition, this research aims to develop SOPs or signs in treatment waste sand.Reclamation process was begun in the crushing of sand lump by hammer and mixing machine reached granular size. The filtered process was done to separate the sand grains from the large size. Then, the washing process of the waste CO 2 moulding sand using detergent solution with variation concentrations of detergent 0.2; 0.3; and 0.4%, respectively. A newand waste silica sand were characterized to study physical and chemical properties. The characterization including grain shape, clay content, and grain fineness number (GFN). The morphology and element content in sands were observed under SEM-EDS instrument.The research shows that the optimum reclamation method is using 0.3% detergent. It results angular grain shape, clay content 2.58%, and GFN 42.16. The morphology and elemental scanning of using 0.3% detergent shows decrement 10.97% of sodium.Based on study was concluded that the detergent wash method is effective to improve the properties of the waste silica sand nearer to new silica sands. The CO 2 moulding sand reclamation can be reused again. In addition, the method of this research can be used in reference of the reclamation of waste CO 2 moulding sand.
