Rio Tinto receives $$$ to reduce GHG

[ScienceFirst]

That's in today's newspaper.

Quebec gov. gives 18.6M$ to 20 heavy polluters in order for them to reduce GHG.  Among them:

- 7.8M$ for Rio Tinto Aluminum
- 1.5M$ for Rio Tinto Iron Ore 
- 2.1M$ for Groupe CRH Canada (cement)

It smells torches ...

Smells pot liners with Alcan too.... From Rio's website- Spent Pot liners are the most significant waste  from Aluminum Smelting  Add to cart with Drostite and torches GLTA

Yessss!! Another iron in the fire... or in this case in the plasma .....another iron in the plasma !

And keep in mind that PyroGenesis has the patent to convert spent pot lining (SPL) to inert slag, aluminum fluoride and energy using plasma: https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=IN377633182&_cid=P22-LDKDCM-38142-2 Title PLASMA PROCESS TO CONVERT SPENT POT LINING (SPL) TO INERT SLAG, ALUMINUM FLUORIDE AND ENERGY Abstract (EN) Apparatus for converting Spent Pot

Again Bcont speaking about things he knows nothing about...as usuall! All spent potlining of Rio is processed currently in Arvida using their unique process and technology. Nothing to do with plasma. Has been going on for more than 10 yrs. Remember: paper patent is only worth ...the paper it's written on.  Be carefully...and be wary of pseudo technical experts polluting this board...GLTA.

A very interesting and informative read on the dangers of Spent Pot Lining, thanks to @cargo for this: @cargo World Aluminum Organization Sustainable Spent Pot Lining Management Guidance Very informative read on the dangers of SPL, its classification as hazardous material, some examples of how the industry is dealing with SPL (screenshot above) and the measures aluminum produces are

Some more great points by @cargo: @cargo More on $PYR's PLASMA PROCESS TO CONVERT SPENT POT LINING (SPL) TO INERT SLAG, ALUMINUM FLUORIDE AND ENERGY https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=IN377633182&_cid=P22-LDKDCM-38142-2 Looking at the screenshot from the patent I would like to point out some interesting details. $PYR is using a 10,000T/YR plant as a example.
