What is Investigation of Solutions to Reduce Fluoride Emissions from Anode Butts and Crust Cover Material about?

For many aluminium smelters, reducing fluoride emissions is often a condition to increase production. Since they contribute up to 40% of the overall roof vent emissions, anode change operations are often targeted for improvements and specifically the emissions from the anode butts and crust cover. The Rio Tinto Alcan Research Centre, LRF, has been conducting an R&D programme over the past few years aimed at improving the understanding of the physical phenomena involved and ultimately minimising this specific contribution. On this basis, different conceptual solutions have been developed and their relative performance evaluated. These tests, associated with past experience of enclosed butt boxes and crust bins, concluded that any container receiving a hot butt and bath crust would require almost complete sealing to be effective. The next stage in this programme is engineering design with the aim of developing smelter technology with the lowest environmental footprint.
