Title A name given to the resource Synthesis of high temperature (1150 C) resistant materials after extraction of oxides of Al and Mg from Aluminum dross Subject The topic of the resource Alumina; Aluminium dross; Industrial waste; Magnesium aluminate; Refractories Aluminium nitride leaching Description An account of the resource Aluminum Dross (Al-dross) is a well-known Industrial waste generated in an Aluminium industry from the melting of the metal itself. It gets made yearly in hundreds of thousands of tons worldwide, due to the wide use and demand of Aluminum in almost every industry. However, Al-dross is not completely a waste as it contains two compounds of interest, namely Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) and Magnesium Aluminate (MgAl2O4). They are the basic compounds present in any refractory which are products featuring low thermal conductivity and high temperature shock characteristics in the order of 1000 C+. Thus, Aluminum Dross becomes a vital candidate to be considered for the extraction of the two of the aforementioned compounds. Recent studies have shown that Al-dross indeed can be used to extract Al2O3 and MgAl2O4. However, Al-dross also contains Aluminum Nitride (AlN) a compound that exhibits the exact opposite properties demonstrated by refractories. In addition to being technically unsuitable for use as refractory material, AlN also possesses another huge issue. When Al-dross is dumped into landfills, the AlN present in the dross combines with the moisture in the soil and is energized by geothermal heat which leads into an exothermic reaction, thereby releases highly toxic and health hazardous gases. Keeping the above techno-environment challenges in mind, prior to utilizing the beneficiated Al-dross in any industrial application, it is important to leach out the AlN from the dross in an environment friendly manner. This paper deals with the successive leaching of AlN from the Al-dross using two laboratory procedures. Sintered (to be added) pellets made out of the processed powder in the lab were subjected to analysis of structural phases and chemical constituents by employing XRD and EDS. Cyclic thermal shock test cycles were also carried out by subjecting the pellets to 1150 C and quenching in air alternately, to study the refractory characteristics. 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
