Abstract

A description is given of a method for producing a molding material mixture or for producing a molding material mixture and a molding therefrom, preferably casting molds or cores, for use in the foundry industry, where the molding material mixture comprises a mold base material and a solution or dispersion comprising lithium-containing waterglass, comprising the following steps: (1) producing or providing a kit at least comprising as separate components: (K1) an aqueous solution or dispersion comprising waterglass and (K2a) a first waterglass-free solution or dispersion comprising lithium ions in solution in water, and also preferably (K2b) a second waterglass-free solution or dispersion, preferably o comprising lithium ions in solution in water with a lower concentration than in component (K2a), and thereafter (2) producing a mixture of the mold base material with a fraction of component (K1) and with a fraction of component (K2a), and also optionally with a fraction of component (K2b). Further described is an aforementioned kit, more particularly for application in the method of the invention. An installation is specified as well for producing an intermediate solution or dispersion, comprising lithium-containing waterglass, for use in producing a molding material mixture or for producing a molding material mixture and a molding therefrom.
