Abstract:
The recycling of household aluminium waste
metals will be very effective and efficient only when a
proper process of recycling is chosen. This paper is an
attempt to provide a non-traditional method of utilising the
exothermic heat of different Al sources (from automobiles,
appliances, windows and doors and other products) for
recycling and producing ferrotitanium alloy. Titania slag
(75% TiO2) produced from carbothermic reduction of lowgrade ilmenite (50% TiO2) and its produced fine dust from
top dome are taken as a feed material. Aluminothermic
processing of fine dust gives a possibility in the direction of
ferrotitanium, followed by the successful execution with
titania slag, which include smelting of titania slag with
household Al scrap chips and lime in a thermal plasma
reactor. The alloy formation is supported with characteristic properties of XRD and FESEM.
