Abstract
The low waste technology is for the production of aluminum fluoride with utilization of waste silica. There are no significant changes in the production of the aluminum fluoride. The use of waste silica permits the manufacture of a marketable product to be used as a filler in rubber compounds. The steps of the process include: (1) Dissolution of the waste inactive silica by treating it with an ammonium fluoride solution; (2) Separation of ammonium cryolite by filtration, to be used in ammonium fluoride production; (3) Precipitation of active silica by treating the ammonium fluosilicate solution with ammonia (gas) or ammonia water; (4) Separation and washing of active silica on the press filter; (5) Evaporation of ammonium fluoride solution; (6) Drying and packaging of active silica.
