What are described are the use of a refractory coating composition for production of cores for diecasting, a kit for production of cores for use in diecasting, a method of producing cores for use in diecasting, cores for use in diecasting, and the use of such cores in diecasting, especially of lightweight metals

Disclosed herein are methods for treating wastewater grit to inactivate any pathogens that are present in the grit and for forming a solidified material comprising wastewater grit such as a chemically bonded phosphate ceramic (CBPC). The CBPC may be utilized in methods for repairing depressions in a road surface that include applying the uncured CBPC to the depression in the road surface and allowing the CBPC to cure.
