Saved edit - Aluminium dross recycling


Aluminium dross, a byproduct of the smelting of bauxite, can be mechanically separated into residual aluminium metal and aluminium oxide. This is different from aluminium recycling, where pure aluminium products are melted into aluminium ingots and re-shaped into new products.

Extraction
The hot dross processing method is to crush the dross and separate it into metal-rich particles and oxide-rich particles based on density. The metal particles are then melted in a furnace to remove the remaining oxide particles.

This mechanical process does can recover most of metal. The former method used an array of chemicals to reduce the oxides, which caused a concentrated, highly toxic 'salt cake' residue.

Products
A variety of products can be made from the residual aluminium dross after it is recycled into aluminium oxide. See more information on aluminium oxide. Aluminium oxide has a variety of industrial uses which includes being used in paint, dye, concrete, explosives, and fertilizer.
