RE:RE:Another article about pot linings

Good to read up on his toxic and bad pot lining is and with no technical solution for them...really exciting for Pyrogenesis

Very nice. Thanks Vestmed.

This could bode very well for Pyrogenesis: There are approximately 1.5 million tonnes of pot lining that are produced each year on the planet and 58% of these residues are buried or stored because there is no technological solution to treat them.

I am just pasting it up the translated article here for easy reading:

A project to support the recovery of aluminum residues from Alouette

By Vincent Rioux-Berrouard - Local Journalism Initiative 11:12 AM - March 24, 2021Reading time: 2 minutes

Montreal-based PyroGenesis Canada, in partnership with Aluminerie Alouette, is currently working on the development of a technology for recovering aluminum residues produced by aluminum smelters.

This project stems from the desire of the Alouette Smelter “to treat, in order to reduce its environmental footprint, the 10,000 tonnes of spent pot lining from its annual production. "

PyroGenesis Canada has developed a plasma arc thermal treatment that “transforms industrial waste into more low-carbon fuels as well as reusable materials”. This solution is less expensive and more efficient than chemical treatment which is currently the technique used in the aluminum industry to treat residues.

The project, which is valued at $ 398,000, is supported to the tune of $ 198,968 by the Government of Quebec. Government assistance will be used to carry out tests to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of such a process.

“In the context of the fight against climate change, industries are expected to significantly reduce their environmental footprint. The process developed by PyroGenesis Canada is a solution to the major challenge of waste management in the aluminum industry. In addition to being innovative, it has immense export potential that will allow Quebec to stand out all over the world, ”said Minister of the Economy and Innovation, Pierre Fitzgibbon.
