Managing Wastes from Aluminium Smelter Plants

Managing Wastes from Aluminium Smelter Plants

Book description:
Managing wastes from aluminium smelter plants discusses major environmental polluting waste material from aluminum industries and, particularly, spent pot liner. The book incorporates the authors’ direct experience in handling this toxic waste, decontaminating spent pot liner and recovering its carbon value.Managing Wastes from Aluminium Smelter Plants discusses major environmental polluting waste material from aluminum industries and stresses upon decontaminating spent pot liner. The book incorporates the authors' direct experience in handling this toxic waste, in decontaminating spent pot liner, and in recovering its carbon value. Demand for aluminum metal in domestic as well as in industrial sector has gone up leaps and bounds in last four decades, and so has the generation of wastes by these aluminum plants. This book depicts all the work done in last few decades to develop a process for safe disposal of these toxic wastes, and after analyzing these results suggests a method for value addition to these toxic wastes in order to make the decontamination process economically viable.
