Study on thermal behavior of hazardous substances in the process of preparing corundum from black aluminum dross

The black aluminum dross (BAD) from aluminum recycling industry is considered to be a hazardous material due to containing a large amount of AlN and fluoride salt. The potential environmental problems caused by BAD restrict the sustainable development of the aluminum recycling industry. A calcining-...

description The black aluminum dross (BAD) from aluminum recycling industry is considered to be a hazardous material due to containing a large amount of AlN and fluoride salt. The potential environmental problems caused by BAD restrict the sustainable development of the aluminum recycling industry. A calcining-leaching process for preparing α-Al2O3 by using BAD is proposed in this paper. The transformation mechanism of toxic substances is discussed in detail based on the analysis of TG-DTG-DSC&MS. The results show that the reaction between AlN and O2 occurs in the range of 500–1000 °C. Most of the gaseous products are N2, and there is also a small amount of NO. The average conversion rate is 0.087 mg/min. The average volatilization rate of chloride salt in BAD under Ar atmosphere is 0.065 mg/min, and the average volatilization rate under Ar + O2 atmosphere is 0.089 mg/min, which is slightly higher than that of pure Ar atmosphere. The BAD processed by calcination-leaching process contain more than 95 % corundum and magnesia-aluminum spinel, which can be used as high-quality raw materials for the preparation of refractory materials.
