Reclamex - A Feasibility Study for a UK Aluminium Smelting Wastes Treatment Facility

铝是仅次于钢铁的第二大最广泛使用的金属，它对英国经济具有战略重要性，因为它朝着更可持续和循环的生产和消费模式发展，并且随着汽车和航空航天部门特别是电动汽车对轻量化产品的需求增加。铝冶炼产生了大量的废物，几乎所有这些废物都被认为是有害的，不适合填埋。英国铝工业目前由于没有英国处理其废物的选择而受到限制，目前不得不出口进行处理。依赖海外危险废物处理解决方案既复杂又昂贵，而且正如最近的地缘政治事件所表明的那样，会带来重大的供应链风险。此外，通过正确的处理，有价值的资源可以从废物中回收，并在英国循环经济中再利用，而不需要填埋。该项目名为RECLAMEX，旨在开展一项全面的可行性研究，以评估英国铝冶炼废物处理设施的可行性，将Ultromex迄今为止开发的技术整合到一个综合工厂中，以处理所有英国冶炼废物并在英国再利用，这在英国和世界上都是第一次。

RECLAMEX - A Feasibility Study for a UK Aluminium Smelting Wastes Treatment FacilityAluminium is the second most widely used metal after steel, it is of strategic importance to the UK economy as it moves towards more sustainable and circular models of production and consumption and as demand increases for light-weighting of products in the automotive and aerospace sectors and especially electric vehicles.Aluminium smelting creates large volumes of waste, nearly all of which are deemed to be hazardous and not appropriate for landfill. The UK aluminium industry is presently constrained by having no UK treatment option for its wastes, and currently has to export it for treatment.Dependence on overseas solutions for hazardous waste treatment is complex, expensive, and as recent geopolitical events have demonstrated, brings significant supply chain risk. Moreover, with the right treatment, valuable resources can be reclaimed from the wastes and reused in the UK circular economy leaving zero for landfill.This project, RECLAMEX, is to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study to assess the viability of a UK Aluminium Smelting Wastes Treatment Facility, bringing together into one integrated plant, the technologies Ultromex has developed so far to treat ALL UK smelting wastes for re-use in the UK, a first for the UK and a first for the world.
