Graziano et al. presented four potential salt cake recycling technologies …
Salt cake is a by-product of the rotary salt furnace processors. Although there are systems available to totally recycle this material, the financial aspects of the process can be debated depending on the volume of salt cake generated by the facility. Normally, from 3 to 10% aluminum is contained in this salt cake by weight.
Aluminium salt slag (also known as aluminium salt cake), which is …
The Process Evaluation Section at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has a major program aimed at developing cost-effective technologies for salt cake recycling. This paper addresses the economic feasibility of technologies for the recovery of aluminum, salt, and residue-oxide fractions from salt cake.
The market is segmented by Type (White Dross, Black Dross, Salt Cake), by Process (Thermal, Mechanical), by End-User Application (Aluminum Casting, Aluminum Alloy, Cement Production, Fertilizer and Chemical Industries), by Source (Primary, Secondary), by Recycling Technology (Pyrometallurgical Process, Hydrometallurgical …
Indeed, some figures suggest around 1 billion tonnes of aluminium still in use, sometimes referred to as the aluminium 'bank'. The limited options for the aluminium recycling operators to recycle their generated salt slags, creates financial and operational insecurity for these plants as costs rise, threatening the industry as a whole.
Objective. "Salt cake is a by product in the aluminium recycling process …
Through successful development, the Recycling Aluminum Salt Cake project promises to provide a cost-effective process to separate salt cake into its constituents and … See more

"Salt cake is a by product in the aluminium recycling process using a rotary furnace. Salt cake is a mixture of aluminum oxides and aluminum nitrides, metal and salts (mainly NaCl and KCl, with small amounts of MgCl2 and CaCl2). The salt cake is a growing environmental problem.
The communication presents an extension of the leaching process of the salt cake earlier developed by the present authors. The process describes the investigations in capturing the ammonia gas evolved by hydrolysis of AlN during aqueous leaching at 373 K (100 °C) by CO2-saturated water. The product, i.e., ammonium bicarbonate which …
M. Ali Rabiha Saleh Yassen. Environmental Science, Materials Science. Al-Khwarizmi Engineering Journal. 2018. Slag of aluminum is a residue which results during the melting process of primary and secondary aluminum production. Salt slag of aluminum is hazardous solid waste according to the European Catalogue…. Expand.

It is produced by two industrial processes: Primary Aluminum Production (PAP), which is based on the combination of the Bayer and Hall-Héroult processes; and Secondary Aluminum Production...
For the recycling/disposal of aluminum dross/salt cake from aluminum remelting, aqueous leaching offers an interesting economic process route. One major obstacle is the reaction between the AlN present in the dross and the aqueous phase, which can lead to the emission of NH 3 gas, posing a serious environmental problem. In the current work, a …
In this process, all available energy that is lost during the aluminium recycling process is reused, eliminating the need for additional energy for salt cake recycling. Multiphysics models for flue gas injection from the rotary furnace in the evaporator and gas combustion in the combined heat and power system played a central …
The aluminum metal and molten salt flux are tapped after the process, where the cooled flux along with the mixture of non-metallic components is called salt slag or salt cake.54 Salt slag contains 5–7 wt.% residual aluminum metal, 15–30 wt.% aluminum oxide, 30–55 wt.% sodium chloride, and 15–30 wt.% potassium chloride and, …
Abstract. Aluminium salt slag (also known as aluminium salt cake), which is produced by the secondary aluminium industry, is formed during aluminium scrap/dross melting and contains 15–30% aluminium oxide, 30–55% sodium chloride, 15–30% potassium chloride, 5–7% metallic aluminium and impurities (carbides, nitrides, …
Salt Slag Recycling -. SALTROMEX. Ultromex introduces SALTROMEX, patented plant & technology enabling aluminium smelters to treat and recycle their own salt slag wastes to recover and valorise the treated outputs, leaving zero to landfill and crucially, helping to drive the Circular Economy. SALTROMEX changes the economics of smaller scale ...
It is known that particles of metallic aluminium up to about 2.5 mm in size can occur in salt cakes (Bruckard and Woodcock, 2007) and that particles down to 38 μm can occur in aluminium drosses from which salt cakes are produced (Bruckard et al., 2004).Table 3 gives an estimate of the contribution of the various aluminium-bearing …
The secondary aluminum industry annually disposes of large amounts of dross residues and salt cake, which are by-products from the processing of scrap aluminum for reuse. These wastes contain as much as 50% salts and are presently disposed of in conventional landfills.
Methods that can be used for the recovery or extraction of metallic aluminium from a salt cake include screening, flotation, electrostatic separation, and dissolution in strong alkali. ... The first sections present the aluminum production processes, both from natural bauxite (primary process) and from the recycling of materials with a high ...

Electrodialysis was investigated for cost-effective recovery of salt from salt cake leach solutions. (Salt cake is a waste stream generated by the aluminum industry during treatment of aluminum drosses and scrap.) We used a pilot-scale electrodialysis stack of 5 membrane pairs, each with an effective area of 0.02 m{sup 2}.
The aluminum industry produces approximately one million. tons of waste by-products from domestic aluminum smelting annually. The most. significant by-products are called salt cake and dross, and ...
