The invention relates to a method for regenerating used foundry sand, which is contaminated with soluble glass, wherein: used foundry sand is provided, which is tainted with a binding agent made of the soluble glass, to which a particle-shaped metal oxide is added; and the used foundry sand is subjected to a thermal treatment, wherein the foundry sand is heated to a temperature of at least 200ºC, thereby obtaining regenerated foundry sand. The invention further relates to regenerated foundry sand, as that obtained from using the method. |
