Abstract/Summary

Transforming the Foundation Industries Research and Innovation Hub, referred hereinafter as TransFIRe, was a research consortium of academic institutions, industry partners, NGOs and government organisations that aimed to develop innovative technology to reduce energy and resource use within the foundation industries. These industries include cement, glass, ceramics, paper, metals and bulk chemicals sectors. This report is published by the British Geological Survey addressing TransFIRe Workstream 2 ‘Where there’s muck there’s brass – creating new materials and process opportunities’. The report describes twenty-four mineral waste materials produced in the United Kingdom, in terms of mineral waste locations, geological context, mineralogical, chemical and particle size data to encourage discussion on the utilisation and adoption of mineral wastes in the foundation industries.
