Saltromex: A new technology to remediate current & historic hazardous and polluting aluminium smelting wastes

Ultromex有限公司开发了许多高度创新的技术，以帮助铝冶炼行业积极处理其生产废物。其中许多废物被指定为危险废物，禁止填埋。处置这些废物是非常有问题和昂贵的，涉及加工费和运输成本，经常跨越国界，带来额外的成本和复杂性。Ultromex正在为多个冶炼废物流开发技术，主要目标是：-降低成本并增加冶炼厂(一次和二次)的利润帮助冶炼厂减少碳足迹和环境影响将危险废物排除在填埋之外允许该行业成为循环经济的重要参与者2017年Ultromex推向市场ALTROMEX使冶炼厂能够在向炉料加料之前从浮渣中回收有价值的金属提高产量，2019年底，Ultromex委托建造了第一座SALTROMEX工厂，这是一座冶炼厂规模的处理厂，具有几项独特的创新，使其能够原地部署，并提供负担得起的资本支出和运营支出，使冶炼厂能够处理自己的盐渣，从成分中回收价值，并避免昂贵的第三方加工和运输。此外，2020年底，Ultromex与力拓签订了一份合同，部署SALTROMEX，对其进行了改进，以提高产能和去除更广泛的污染物，以修复法国的盐渣垃圾填埋场。Ultromex相信，这个项目将在欧洲和世界各地开启许多未来的项目，并向那些负责铝冶炼废物的问题垃圾填埋场的人展示价值。Ultromex还提供解决方案，以解决其他铝工业废物，如在冶炼厂产生的废锅衬垫和过滤器粉尘，或者它们过去被储存或填埋的地方。

Ultromex Limited has developed a number of highly innovative technologies to assist the aluminium smelting industry deal proactively with its production wastes. Many of these wastes are designated as hazardous and prohibited from landfill.Disposal of these wastes is highly problematic and expensive, involving processing fees and transportation costs, often crossing trans-national boundaries bringing additional costs and complications.Ultromex is developing technologies for multiple smelting waste streams, with the primary goals of: -Reducing costs and increasing profits for smelters (both primary and secondary)Helping smelters to reduce their carbon footprint and environmental impactKeeping hazardous wastes out of landfillAllowing the industry to be a significant participant in the circular economyIn 2017 Ultromex brought to market ALTROMEX enabling smelters to recover valuable metal from drosses before charging the furnace increasing yields, efficiency and throughput with the most recent installation at the end of 2019 in the GCC.At the end of 2020 Ultromex commissioned the first SALTROMEX plant, a smelter sized treatment plant, with several unique innovations enabling it to be deployed in situ with affordable Capex and Opex allowing smelters to treat their own salt slag, recover value from the constituents and avoid expensive third-party processing & transportation.Also, at the end of 2020 Ultromex secured a contract with Rio Tinto to deploy SALTROMEX, modified for increase throughput and the removal of a wider range of contaminants, to remediate a salt slag landfill in France. Ultromex is confident that this project will open up many future projects in Europe and around the world and demonstrate value to those who are responsible for problematic landfills containing alumunium smelting wastes.Ultromex also offers solutions to address other aluminium industry wastes such Spent Pot Liners and filter dusts as they arise at the smelter, or where they have been stockpiled or landfilled in the past.
