알루미늄 폐드로스 내에 잔류하는 금속 알루미늄을 수산화나트륨용액으로 침출, 분리시켜서 수산화알루미늄으로 제조하는 과정에서 침출잔사가 발생된다. 본 연구에서는 이 침출잔사를 세척, 건조, 배소하여 알루미나질 캐스타블 내화물과 같은 세라믹 원료로 재활용하는 연구를 수행하였으며, 상용화를 위하여 파일롯트 플랜트 시험을 수행하였다. 시험 생산라인은 년간 1,000톤의 폐드로스를 처리하여 약 700톤의 세라믹 원료를 생산할 수 있는 규모이다. 생산라인의 시운전 결과 상용화를 위해서는 건조기의 개선이 필요하고, Na, Fe 등 불순 성분들이 시료에 유입되는 것을 줄여야 하는 문제점들을 파악할 수 있었으며, 개발한 기술의 상용화 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Waste aluminum dross is a major waste in the aluminum scrap smelters and its components are mostly alumina and remained metallic aluminum. In the process to extract the remained aluminum from the waste dross by leaching with sodium hydroxide solution, residue is generated and its main component is alumina. This residue could be recycled into ceramic materials such as alumina castable refractories by going through a series of treatments such as washing, drying and roasting. In this study, a pilot plant was constructed and tested to demonstrate the developed technology. One thousand tons of waste aluminum dross could be processed, and about seven hundred tons of ceramic materials produced in the demonstration line. From the test run of the pilot plant, although it was confirmed that the developed technology could be applied to commercialization, several technical improvements were found to be necessary for reducing impurities such as Na, Fe and for reforming drying equipment.

본 연구에서는 국내 재생 알루미늄업체에서 발생된 알루미늄 폐드로스를 수산화나트륨 용액으로 침출하여 폐드로스 중의 잔류 알루미늄을 용액 상으로 침출, 분리시키고, 침출용액 중에서 알루미늄 성분을 수산화알루미늄으로 회수하였으며 침출이 안 된 폐드로스 잔사는 수세, 건조, 배소 과정을 거쳐 알루미나질 내화물 원료로 재활용하는 연구를 수행하였다. 그리고, 1일 4톤의 알루미늄 폐드로스를 처리할 수 있는 규모의 파일롯트 플랜트를 건설, 시운전함으로써 연구결과의 상용화 가능성을 제시하였다.

Waste aluminum dross is a major waste in the aluminum scrap smelters and its major components are alumina and metallic aluminum. In this study, waste aluminum dross was leached with sodium hydroxide solution to extract the remained aluminum into the solution, and aluminum hydroxide was recovered from the leached solution. The dross residue generated at the leaching step was recycled into alumina base ceramic materials through a series of treatments such as washing, drying and roasting. Also, a pilot plant was constructed and tested to demonstrate the developed technology. Four tons of waste aluminum dross could be processed per day. From the test run of the pilot plant, it was confirmed that the developed technology could be applied to commercialization.

The recycling possibility of aluminum waste dross(AWD) as a ceramic raw material of porous light-weight material was examined. A aluminum waste dross was washed 4-7 consecutive times and roasted at 900$^{\circ}% for 1hour as pre-treatments. The properties of the pre-treatment of aluminum waste dross was investigated. It was conformed by XRD result that the spinel crystalline was grown in AWD, after roasting. After the roasted AWD was ground in aqueous state, the sodium hexaphosphate(SHP) as a dispersant which is used for stabilizing the concentrated slurry was added to the AWD slurry. The porous material was prepared by slurry foaming method with surfactant at room temperature. The foamed slurry volumes were 2 and 3 times of the original slurry volume. The properties of porous material with extended volume of 3 times was following: the porosity was about 84%, bulk density was 0.59 g/cm$^3$, the range of pore was from 50 ${\mu}m$ to 500 ${\mu}m$ and mean pore size was about 200 ${\mu}m$. AWD porous material was sintered at 1150$^{\circ}C-1250$^{\circ}C. It was colcluded that AWD was sintered well at 1200$^{\circ}C from material surface observation by SEM.
