| Abstract | Aluminum recycling is an excellent example in the efficient utilization of secondary material resources. During secondary Aluminum recovery, Aluminum scraps are melted and refined often in a rotary melting furnace under a molten salt layer, as a European practice. The feed is normally a complex combination of Aluminum scraps with different types, sizes, shapes, compositions, and contaminations. Efficient melting of the scrap is a critical issue in order to achieve higher metal recovery, lower energy and salt consumption, and less environmental impact. In the present paper, melting behaviour of various types of Aluminum scraps was investigated in laboratory furnaces. The recyclability of different scraps was examined. It confirms that scrap type, surface conditions, size and contaminants have significant influence on the metal yield and scrap recyclability. Based on the experimental results and industrial operational data, a CFD based process model has been developed, coupled with user-developed sub-models for scrapmelting and metal burn-off. The distributed melting behaviour of different Aluminum scraps was evaluated and the modelling results were used to analyse the melting process in industrial furnace, and to estimate the energy flow and distribution, and finally contribute to process optimisation. |
