Currently, there is an acute problem of disposing industrial wastes. Its storing is quite expensive and requires safety excluded areas. Therefore, great importance is attached to the developments based on partial or complete replacement of components for producing traditional materials for large-tonnage waste products. For example, storing fluorine anhydrite, a waste product of hydrofluoric acid production located in the Perm region, (Russia) takes large areas for dump of the material, low-cost recycling of which helps to reduce the environmental load on the region, as well as to produce efficient fluorine anhydrite-based materials.

Fluorine anhydrite can be used both as a binder for producing piece goods for low-rise construction, and as a component of composite materials for a wide range of applications from producing composite binders, to low-temperature fired ceramics.

This study presents modern research and compositions of various composite fluorine anhydrite-based materials that can expand the range of products based on industrial wastes.
