Pre-ground SOLVAir® Sodium Bicarbonate and Active Carbon or Lignite Coke for Bronze Recycling Foundry

In the metallurgical sector, bronze recovery foundries play a crucial role in the recycling of non-ferrous metals. During the bronze smelting and refining process, polluting emissions are generated due to the combustion required for the process. The fumes emitted may contain harmful substances such as sulfur oxides (SOx), hydrochloric acid (HCl), hydrofluoric acid (HF), and heavy metals such as copper, tin, and lead. These pollutants not only negatively impact the environment but can also pose risks to human health. To ensure that emissions remain within the limits established by environmental regulations, advanced flue gas treatment methods are essential. An effective approach is the combined use of Solvay SOLVAir® pre-ground sodium bicarbonate and activated carbon or lignite coke.

Solution with Pre Ground SOLVAir® Sodium Bicarbonate plus Active Carbon or Lignite Coke

Solvay SOLVAir® pre-ground sodium bicarbonate plays a key role in neutralizing acidic substances in the flue gases, converting them into harmless salts. Furthermore, activated carbon and lignite coke, with their high adsorption capacity, are extremely effective at capturing heavy metals and other harmful particles present in the resulting gases from the smelting process. The process involves the controlled injection of these substances using two well-calibrated dosers to ensure accurate distribution of the materials. This technique guarantees a high degree of flue gas cleanliness, in compliance with current environmental regulations.
