This study proves that lignin-based biopolymer materials can be employed as starting materials for the synthesis of novel casting binders that fulfill the current level of characteristics. The optimal concentration of the binder in the mixture was experimentally determined to be 5.8%–6.2%. It has been demonstrated in practice that the employment of ammonium salts as a technical lignosulfonate (TLS) modifier can result in the provision of cold (room temperature) curing of a mixture based on them. It was proposed to use as a technological additive that boosts the strength characteristics of a mixture of substances carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). In a variety of adhesive materials, it is utilized as an active polymer base. The concentration limits for using CMC in the mixture are set at 0.15%–0.25%. To improve the moldability of the combination, it was suggested that kaolin clay be used as a plasticizing addition. The concentration limits for using a plasticizing additive are set at 3.5%–4.0%. The produced mixture was compared to the analog of the alpha-set method in a comparative analysis. It was discovered that the proposed composition is less expensive, more environmentally friendly, and enables the production of high-quality castings. In terms of physical, mechanical, and technological properties, the created composition of the cold curing mixture is not inferior to analogs from the alpha-set method. For the first time, a biopolymer-based binder system containing technical lignosulfonate with the addition of ammonium sulfate and carboxymethyl cellulose was used in the production of cast iron castings on the case of a cylinder casting weighing 18.3 kg from gray cast iron grade SCh20. Thus, it has been proved possible for the first time to replace phenol-based resin binders with products based on natural polymer combinations. For the first time, a cold-hardening mixture based on technological lignosulfonates has been developed without using hardeners made of very hazardous and cancer-causing hexavalent chromium compounds. But is achieved through a combination of specialized additives, including kaolin clay to ensure the mixture can be manufactured, ammonium sulfate to ensure the mixture cures, and carboxymethyl cellulose to enhance the strength properties of the binder composition. The study's importance stems from the substitution of biopolymer natural materials for costly and environmentally harmful binders based on phenolic resins. This development's execution serves as an illustration of how green technology can be used in the foundry sector. Reducing the amount of resin used in foundry manufacturing and substituting it with biopolymer binders based on technological lignosulfonates results in lower product costs as well as the preservation of the environment. Using lignin products judiciously can reduce environmental harm by using technical lignosulfonates, or compounds based on technical lignin. The combination is concentrated on businesses with single and small-scale manufacturing because it is presumable that this is merely the beginning of the investigation. This study confirms the viability of creating a cold-hardening combination based on technical lignosulfonates in practical applications and supports this with the castings produced, using the creation of a gray cast iron cylinder casting as an example.
