Title A name given to the resource Plasma sprayed magnesium aluminate and alumina composite coatings from waste aluminum dross Subject The topic of the resource Alumina; Aluminum dross; Industrial waste utilization; Magnesium aluminate; Oxide beneficiation; Thermally insulating coatings Description An account of the resource The absence of structured waste management practices for tons of black aluminum dross (Al-dross) when land-filled affects the ecosystem we live in. Researchers and technologists are now working towards three goals (a) minimization of Al-dross production (b) reducing its toxic effects on the environment and (c) treating the Al-dross to beneficiate useful materials from it in an environmentally friendly manner and to generate useful industrial products. The third aspect has been addressed in this study. Al-dross is an aluminum industry generated waste that mainly contains Al metal (oxidized during processing), Aluminum Nitride (AlN), ?-aluminum oxide (?-Al2O3) and magnesium aluminate (MgAl2O4). The oxides are highly suitable for refractory and thermally insulating material applications, but AlN is detrimental for two reasons - (a) thermal conductivity higher than the oxides and (b) carcinogenic gas evolution during processing. Hence AlN must be removed from Al-dross for further processing into refractories. In this work, AlN with minor quantities of halides were removed from Al-dross to extract the major useful refractory oxide constituents in an environmentally friendly manner. The process methodology involved sieving Al-dross to &lt; 600 m particles, aqueous media treatment to remove the nitrides in the form of NH3 gas, oven drying and calcination at 10001150 C for 2 h (in an electrical muffle furnace in ambient air atmosphere) to obtain a mixture of the composite oxide powder of ? 99.0% purity. The calcined compound was mixed with suitable organic binders and sieved to obtain plasma sprayable powder and plasma spray-coated onto bond coated (commercial NiCrAlY) steel substrates. XRD and SEM with EDS facility were used to characterize the powders and coatings. A polished metallographic cross-section was prepared to study the microstructure and interface characteristics. The findings are presented. 2022 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gomes S.A.; Ramaswamy P.
