    Characteristic Properties and Recyclability of the Aluminium Fraction of Mswi Bottom Ash
    (Elsevier, 2021) Gökelma, Mertol; Vallejo-Olivares, Alicia; Tranell, Gabriella
    The increasing use of aluminimum in packaging applications results in many different aluminium-based products ending up in consumer mixed-waste bins. This waste is typically incinerated, generating an aluminium-containing bottom ash. The current work investigates the recyclability of the aluminium fraction in the bottom ash from waste incineration plants in the USA, UK and Denmark. Incinerated Al samples from different size fractions (2-6 mm, 6-12 mm and 12-30 mm) were characterized in terms of inherent oxide thickness, re-melting yield/coagulation and composition. The measured average oxide thickness on Al particles was 68 mm (SD=100), with the metal yield and coagulation efficiency measured to between 76 and 92% and 87-99% respectively. Larger particle size fractions resulted in a higher metal yield due to their higher mass to surface ratio. A simplified model correlating metal yield and particle size was proposed. The aluminium content of the melted material was determined to between 95.6 and 98.5% with main impurities being Fe, Si, Mn, Zn, Mg and Cu, corresponding to major aluminium alloying elements and waste charge components.

    The Influence of the Casting Speed in Horizontal Continuous Casting of Aluminium Alloy En Aw 6082
    (Springer, 2021) Obalı, Akın; Dilek, Kerem Ahmet; Akdi, Seracettin; Ürk, Deniz Kavrar; Gökelma, Mertol
    Vertical direct chill (VDC) casting is commonly used to produce slabs and billets from wrought aluminium alloys. The fact that the VDC is not a continuous process and moulds must be prepared for the next batch decreases the productivity of the process. Alternatively, horizontal direct chill (HDC) casting simplifies the process and allows a continuous production. The casting speed in the HDC casting is easier to control and can be optimized for different alloys by changing the speed. This study focuses on investigating the effects of casting speed on the macrostructure of 6082 aluminium billets with 60 mm diameter. A demo-scale casting unit was used and the casting speed was changed from 310 to 385 mm/min. Changes in surface condition, macrocracks, microporosity, and diameter of the billets were investigated. Surface quality of the billets became better with the increasing casting speed, while diameter of the billet expands. Furthermore, centreline cracks appear at the casting speed of 355 mm/min. © 2021, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.
