Abstract
The traditional method to recover the metallic aluminium from primary dross is not an efficient and economical process because only part of the metal is recovered while consuming energy and producing pollutants (fumes, dust and salty dross)., ALURES and ALUMIX have studied and ex perimented a new process to recycle all the components of the dross in the electrolytic pots with a high recovery efficiency and without any energy consumption.
