项目摘要

RECLAMEX - A Feasibility Study for a UK Aluminium Smelting Wastes Treatment FacilityAluminium is the second most widely used metal after steel, it is of strategic importance to the UK economy as it moves towards more sustainable and circular models of production and consumption and as demand increases for light-weighting of products in the automotive and aerospace sectors and especially electric vehicles.Aluminium smelting creates large volumes of waste, nearly all of which are deemed to be hazardous and not appropriate for landfill. The UK aluminium industry is presently constrained by having no UK treatment option for its wastes, and currently has to export it for treatment.Dependence on overseas solutions for hazardous waste treatment is complex, expensive, and as recent geopolitical events have demonstrated, brings significant supply chain risk. Moreover, with the right treatment, valuable resources can be reclaimed from the wastes and reused in the UK circular economy leaving zero for landfill.This project, RECLAMEX, is to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study to assess the viability of a UK Aluminium Smelting Wastes Treatment Facility, bringing together into one integrated plant, the technologies Ultromex has developed so far to treat ALL UK smelting wastes for re-use in the UK, a first for the UK and a first for the world.

RECLAMEX - 英国铝冶炼废物处理设施的可行性研究铝是仅次于钢铁的第二大使用最广泛的金属，随着英国经济朝着更可持续和循环的生产和消费模式发展以及随着对铝的需求增加，它对英国经济具有战略重要性。汽车和航空航天领域的产品轻量化，特别是电动汽车。铝冶炼会产生大量废物，几乎所有废物都被认为是危险的，不适合填埋。英国铝工业目前由于没有英国的废物处理方案而受到限制，目前必须将其出口进行处理。对海外危险废物处理解决方案的依赖是复杂且昂贵的，而且正如最近的地缘政治事件所证明的那样，这带来了巨大的供应连锁风险。此外，通过正确的处理，可以从废物中回收宝贵的资源，并在英国循环经济中重新利用，从而使垃圾填埋量为零。 RECLAMEX 项目旨在进行全面的可行性研究，以评估英国铝冶炼废物处理的可行性该设施将 Ultromex 迄今为止开发的技术整合到一个综合工厂中，用于处理所有英国冶炼废物，以便在英国重新利用，这在英国是首例，也是世界首例。
