Processes of salt slag recycling in aluminum production to obtain powder material with a high content of aluminum oxide phases by B. M. Nemenenok, I. V. Rafalski, P. E. Lushchik, L. P. Dolgi, A. D. Rulenkov

“…A rational solution seems to be the replacement of sparingly soluble salts in refining fluxes with sodium or potassium fluorides with a higher solubility in water. It is shown that the powder mixture obtained after hydraulic treatment of aluminum slag includes various forms of structural components in the form of films, shells, submicroand nanostructures of various morphologies with the participation of various types of nano‑components, in which the phases of non‑metallic compounds predominate, mainly ceramic substances and salts (corundum Al2O3, aluminum oxynitride Al2.85O3.45N0.55, aluminum nitride AlN, sodium chloride NaCl) and metallic aluminum. …”
