“…The leaching efficiency of aluminum reached 57.5% with strong NaOH solution (260 g/L) at 240 • C. Artur Kudyba et al studied Al recovery from AD by a high-temperature melting process, and the metallic Al recovery efficiency reached 52% for Dp > 2 [16]. M. Türk et al studied Al recovery by the NaOH leaching method [17]. The Al extraction rate ranged from 78.64% to 93.11% and from 78.35% to 91.99% for ground dross and as-received dross, respectively.…”

Aluminum dross (AD) is a hazardous waste that contains valuable metallic Al and reactive aluminum nitride (AlN). The intergrowth of Al and AlN presents a challenge to Al recovery and AlN removal. In the current work, a mechanical milling method was developed to separate Al and AlN. Steel bars and balls were used as grinding media. The AD particle size decreased after milling and was distributed in the ranges 0.425–2 mm, 0.15–0.425 mm, 0.08–0.15 mm, and <0.08 mm. The particle size distribution was affected by the ball milling media and grinding time. Steel ball media had a better grinding effect on particles > 2 mm. After ball milling, the Dp0.08–2 mm size fraction accounted for approximately 90%. With changes in particle size, the element content of AD varied: the fraction of metallic Al decreased, while the fraction of Si increased. Metallic Al mainly existed in particles with size > 0.425 mm, accounting for 48.5%. AlN mainly existed in Dp0.15–0.425 mm, accounting for 64.9%. The optimal milling conditions achieved a 65% Al recovery rate and a 90% AlN separation efficiency. This work provides a promising approach for highly efficient pretreatment for AD recovery and AlN elimination in industrial applications.
