Abstract

Using Best Available Technology is a phase that we often hear when there are environmental discussions on aluminum dross and secondary salt slag processing. The reality is best available technology is a mix between efficient removal of the valuable aluminum, oxides, misc metals and flux from dross and salt cake. This combined with conscientious land fill disposal of those items that finally, at this time, have no economic use is the reality of a company’s best available actions. Recycling processes must be looked at with both the economic and environmental benefits weighed for their responsible implementation. This paper will discuss how this is done on a practical basis by Recycling Ventures (a secondary processor) and Environmental Waste Solutions (a Title II landfill), for the aluminum industry.
