Abstract:
A method of treating a spent potliner after use in an aluminum smelting process, the method comprising crushing and classifying the spent potliner, placing the classified and crushed spent potliner in a furnace at a temperature greater than 450° C., heating the spent potliner to a temperature greater than 450° C., mixing the heated spent potliner with water to produce reaction gases and residue, burning the reaction gases, mixing the residue with water in a well ventilated area for a period of weeks to cure the residue. The method also embraces blending the cured residue with other chemicals and minerals to provide specific mineral products.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the oxidative degradation of toxic organic compounds. It comprises mechanical and chemical activation of solids containing toxic organic compounds and subjecting said activated solids to heat spontaneously generated in the presence of oxygen to oxidatively degrade said toxic organic compounds.
Abstract:
A method for treating residues derived from garbage and/or industrial waste incineration fumes including the steps of desalting the residues by washing with sodium carbonate in sufficient amount or slightly in excess to solubilize all the salts including the sulphates and precipitate the soluble calcium, the pH being higher than 11, then carrying out a solid/liquid separation to obtain a desalinated cake; leaching the desalinated cake with sodium carbonate in sufficient amount or slightly in excess to obtain, by reaction with the lime present in the cake or added thereto if necessary, the alkalinity required for solubilising amphoteric metals, the pH being higher than 12, and obtaining by solid/liquid separation a cake and a supernatant which is neutralised with carbon dioxide, and filtering the recovered solution to obtain metal hydroxide sludge and an aqueous sodium carbonate solution; and neutralising the resulting residues at a pH between 6.5 and 8.5.
Abstract:
Hazardous compounds are chemically treated to remove various pollutants by subjecting the compounds (samples) to various process steps, including selecting specific solvents and using them, treating the sample at room temperature or below (30.degree. C. or lower); separating fatty acids mixed with heavy metal and semi-metal compounds as well as the separation of organic substances (including halogenated compounds) added to heavy metals and semi-metals; and using sodium nitrite and sodium 1-naphthylamine-4-sulfonate in combination from specific solvents, thereby in the sample, adsorbing and fixating halogen substances related to air pollution, coagulation resulting from the decomposition of fatty acids and the fixation of such compounds by quicklime and graphite and the stable fixation of heavy-metal oxide and semi-metal compounds using solvents having redox action and the formation of their complex salts and compounds, the above being accomplished by a continuous processing method.
Abstract:
Process for insolubilizing and consolidating in pellet form the spent linings from electrolysis cells for the production of aluminium comprising grinding said spent linings and mixing them thoroughly with various pulverulent refractory additives before heating, characterized in that after the addition of:a first additive intended to fix the alkali metals during firing, which is chosen from the group of aluminosilicates,and subsequently a second additive intended firstly to combine with the impregnating fluoride compounds during firing to form new stable, insoluble compounds, and secondly through its non-combined excess part to assure the consolidation of the mixture, and is chosen from the group of calcium oxides and salts, preferably limestone cements and mortars,the intimate mixture of ground, spent linings and said first and second pulverulent additives is agglomerated into pellet form before firing at a temperature in the range of from 700.degree. C. to 950.degree. C.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for reducing and/or removing inorganic matter from a material containing inorganic matter which comprises the steps of:(i) (a) treating the material with a source of hydrogen fluoride so as to form a first residue and a first solution containing inorganic matter; (b) separating the first residue from the first solution containing the inorganic matter; (c) treating the first residue with an acid so as to form a second residue and a second solution containing further inorganic matter; and (d) separating the second residue from the second solution containing the further inorganic matter; or(ii) (a) treating the material with an acid so as to form a first residue and a first solution containing inorganic matter; (b) separating the first residue from the first solution containing the inorganic matter; (c) treating the first residue with a source of hydrogen fluoride so as to form a second residue and a second solution containing further inorganic matter; and (d) separating the second residue from the second solution containing the further inorganic matter.
Abstract:
A method and a system is disclosed for treating a gaseous discharge stream formed from a waste in a molten metal bath. The waste is directed into a reactor containing a molten metal bath. The molten metal bath has operating conditions which are sufficient to dissociate the waste and form a gaseous discharge stream including a dissociation product. The gaseous discharge stream is cooled in a cooling section and the dissociation product is separated, as a particulate, from a gaseous component of the gaseous discharge stream. The fluid particulate stream is recirculated to the gaseous discharge stream in a reaction section of the apparatus.
