Leaching Process Investigation of Secondary Aluminum …
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 …

Recovery of aluminum from rotary furnace salt cake by low …
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.

Recycling Aluminum Salt Cake
The conventional method of salt cake recycling includes crushing and screening to recover the entrained aluminum, dissolving the soluble salts in water, recover-ing the salts by evaporation of the process brine, and filtering to recover the nonmetallic product (NMP). This method is energy-intensive and costly com-pared to disposal by landfill.
