RECLAMEX - A Feasibility Study for a UK Aluminium Smelting Wastes Treatment Facility Aluminium is the second most widely used metal after steel, it is of strategic importance to the UK economy as it moves towards more sustainable and circular models of production and consumption and as demand increases for light-weighting of products in the automotive and...

With global aluminium consumption forecasted to grow by 40% between now & 2030 but at the same time with increasing focus on carbon net zero and climate change, the pressure has never been greater on the aluminium production sector to ensure that its activities are sustainable and indeed where possible make a positive contribution to society's environment...

This project aims to connect 2 major foundation industries, primary metal (aluminium) and cement production, yielding significant environmental, economic & resource efficiency benefits for both. The primary aluminium industry is large in scale with 65.296 million tonnes produced globally in 2020\. It creates a number of difficult waste streams including S...

Ultromex Limited has developed a number of highly innovative technologies to assist the aluminium smelting industry deal proactively with its production wastes. Many of these wastes are designated as hazardous and prohibited from landfill. Disposal of these wastes is highly problematic and expensive, involving processing fees and transportation costs, oft...

Aluminium is the second most used metal after steel. Primary aluminium smelting (extracting metal from mined raw material - bauxite) is a major global industry; some 64.3M tonnes of aluminium were produced in 2018\. With light weighting of more and more metal products, production is set to increase further in the years to come. A major waste stream arisin...

Industrial scale, novel, closed loop Aluminum waste treatment plant.

"With global aluminium consumption set to reach 120M tonnes by 2025, aluminium production and recycling are large and important global industries. Slag and drosses are hazardous residual wastes from the aluminium smelting industry; historically, after treatment for metal recovery, the residue was landfilled but landfill is no longer permitted by EU waste ...

The safe disposal of Spent Pot Linings (SPLs), the waste material generated in the de-lining of steel containers following the aluminium (AL) smelting electrolysis process, is a major environmental challenge as highly toxic & hazardous substances are absorbed into the cell lining (made up of carbon & refractory (ceramic) layers) in the process – making di...

Slag is a by-product of metal smelting, and at least 43m Metric Tonnes of it are known to be produced every year in the process of refining metals & making alloys. Slag is used in low value applications such as ballast in concrete and in aggregate road mat'ls. However, slag retains significant amounts of metals & these are sometimes recovered by remelting...

Spent pot linings (SPL’s) are the waste material generated in the de-lining of crucibles/pots following the aluminium (and other metal) smelting electrolysis process. The SPL is composed of carbon & various inert elements but also fluoride and cyanide and is thus hazardous waste. It is regarded as a difficult and expensive waste stream to deal with becaus...

Slag is a by-product of metal smelting, and several 100,000 tonnes of it are produced every year in the process of refining metals and making alloys. Slag usually takes the form of a loose aggregate with lumps of varying size. Slag contains impurities from the metals, which float to the top during the smelting process. Also, slag forms a protective crust ...
