Published purpose

Aluminum smelters are faced with the challenge of managing contaminated carbon dust residues due to the nature of prebaked anodes, which must be changed regularly. The project focuses on decontaminating these residues so that they can be recycled and disposed of without being sent to landfill. The goal is to offer a solution for treating contaminated dust to all Canadian aluminum smelters and to develop equipment that can be marketed outside Canada.
