Recovery of Metals from Aluminum Dross and Saltcake
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various aluminum-smelting by-products from three production sources were received and characterized. The waste materials were tested for compound identification and environmental acceptance. A coarse metallic aluminum recovery test using an Eddy Current separator (ECS) was performed using two different Circuit configurations. White dross performed equally well with either Circuit, while black dross processing shows significant difference on the separation results. It was found that ECS technology was effective for particle sizes down to 6-10 mesh.

Industrial aluminum hazardous waste as a new raw material for zeolite synthesis
In Spain, the secondary aluminum industry is a mature activity which produces 35% of the total aluminum production. This industry generates slag (black dross) with a valuable content of aluminum which is recovered by dry milling processes in the aluminum tertiary industry. The powdered fine solid is trapped in the sleeve filter suction system of the aluminum slag milling process. This solid is ...
متن کاملHydrological Methods Can Separate Cesium from Nuclear Waste Salt Cake
Interstitial Fluid Displacement (IFD) is a new and novel method for separating cesium from saltcake waste. It was identified by reevaluating fundamental factors of the saltcake recovery system, such as physical and chemical properties of saltcake, experience from other technical disciplines and industries, processing rate requirements, process safety requirements, and use of proven-successful p...
متن کاملPlastic deformation recovery in freestanding nanocrystalline aluminum and gold thin films.
In nanocrystalline metals, lack of intragranular dislocation sources leads to plastic deformation mechanisms that substantially differ from those in coarse-grained metals. However, irrespective of grain size, plastic deformation is considered irrecoverable. We show experimentally that plastically deformed nanocrystalline aluminum and gold films with grain sizes of 65 nanometers and 50 nanometer...
