The invention discloses chilled mud-core 
molding sand manufactured from 
chromite sand. The chilled mud-core 
molding sand is characterized by comprising, by weight, 70-90 parts of recycled sand, 240-260 parts of the 
chromite sand, 10-15 parts of 
coal dust, 30-35 parts of 
sepiolite, 35-40 parts of 
bentonite, 4-5 parts of 
rapeseed oil, 35-40 parts of alkali-free glass fibers, 2-3 parts of 
copper naphthenate, 1-2 parts of 
boric acid, 5-8 parts of 
furan resin, 40-45 parts of nanometer-sized kaolin, 2-3 parts of 
sodium tripolyphosphate, 2-3 parts of 
benzene sulfonic acid and an appropriate amount of water. A method for manufacturing the chilled mud-core 
molding sand includes calcining the 
chromite sand, the 
sepiolite and the 
bentonite; then calcining the chromite sand, the 
sepiolite and the 
bentonite at a high temperature; dispersing the 
boric acid, the 
copper naphthenate and the like into the chromite sand, the sepiolite and the bentonite and 
grinding raw materials to obtain the molding sand. The chilled mud-core molding sand and the method have the advantages that the chilled mud-core molding sand is excellent in gas permeability, adhesion, 
toughness, 
plasticity and collapsibility; the strength of the molding sand is improved owing to the glass fibers and the 
boric acid; the organic resin and the 
rapeseed oil are used as adhesion agents, so that the chilled mud-core molding sand is high in 
plasticity and high-temperature collapsibility; the chilled mud-core molding sand has a chilled characteristic, and the production efficiency is high.
