Quartz powder sourced from industrial wastes is very hazardous. It is because it contains large amounts of fine particles. Thus, it has the potential to cause cancer and nervous system impact on humans and animals. Furthermore, its disposal leads to water pollution and plant pollination (negative for the environment). It will not be dangerous if incorporated into a hardened epoxy resin coating. In turn, epoxy resin is very harmful to the environment, in particular to aquatic organisms; therefore, it is necessary to reduce its mass in coatings by using additives. The article describes the systematic investigation of the adhesion of an epoxy resin coating and an economic and toxicity analysis showing the cost and toxicity reduction of the epoxy resin coating by replacing a part of the epoxy resin mass with waste quartz powder. The key novelty of the following article is to highlight a new way to decrease the hazardous effect of waste quartz powder, thanks to its utilization in epoxy resin coatings. Furthermore, the novelty is to decrease the toxicity of epoxy resin by reducing its mass necessary to make the industrial coating.
工业废料中的石英粉非常危险。这是因为它含有大量的细颗粒。因此，它有可能对人类和动物造成癌症和神经系统的影响。此外，它的处置会导致水污染和植物授粉（对环境不利）。如果将其纳入硬化环氧树脂涂层中，就不会有危险。反过来，环氧树脂对环境非常有害，特别是对水生生物；因此，有必要通过使用添加剂来减少涂层中的环氧树脂质量。本文描述了对环氧树脂涂层附着力的系统研究，以及经济和毒性分析，展示了通过用废石英粉替代部分环氧树脂质量来降低环氧树脂涂层的成本和毒性。本文的主要新颖之处在于强调了一种新的方法，通过将废石英粉应用于环氧树脂涂层来降低其危害性。此外，通过减少制造工业涂料所需的环氧树脂质量来降低其毒性也是一种新颖的方法。
