— It is estimated that in the U.S., an energy loss of roughly 70 trillion BTUs per year results from oxidative melt loss of over 960 million lbs of aluminum and its alloys. As dross generation is inevitable when melting aluminum, the only controllable factors are the amount of dross generated and the amount of recoverable metal in the dross.
— Abstract. Aluminum dross (AD) has become a severe problem for the environment and public health due to the great prosperity of the aluminum industry because it contains Al, AlN, Al 4 C 3, fluoride salts, and various metal cations.In this review, the source and characterization of AD are introduced, and the differences between primary …
— The Dross Boss ™ recovery process starts with the transfer of a mixture of hot dross and recoverable aluminum from a melting furnace to a special "reaction vessel" (RV.) Then, that load of material is transported by lift truck to the mixing station, where it is manually loaded on an elevator before starting the recovery operation.
This report has discussed white and black dross, their differences, carbon emissions, and applications and treatment. It also covers country-specific aluminium dross recycling, import and export, sustainability in dross …
— Despite being an industrial waste, aluminium dross offers a valuable source of metallic content for aluminium recovery and other industrial products. Recycling aluminium dross is both a sustainable and …
