Description:
A SITE demonstration of the Horsehead Resource Development (HRD) company, Inc. Flame Reactor Technology was conducted in March 1991 at the HRD facility in Monaca, Pennsylvania. For this demonstration, secondary lead smelter soda slag was treated to produce a potentially recyclable lead- and zinc-enriched oxide product and a nonhazardous (based on the regulatory requirements of the Toxicity Characteristic test) effluent slag. The lead and zinc in the oxide product were concentrated about threefold from the feed concentrations. The effluent slag was determined to be nonhazardous based on extraction by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure. Potential wastes that might be treated include industrial residues, Resource conservation and Recovery Act wastes, Superfund wastes, and other wastes contaminated with metals and organic wastes.
