Ultromex lands slag recycling contract

Ultromex lands slag recycling contract
<![CDATA[

United Kingdom-based Ultromex Limited says it has signed “a major contract” with global mining firm Rio Tinto to remediate a salt slag landfill site in Europe. Ultromex says, together with France-based EJM Hydrovac, it will “excavate, process and re-instate the site in France during the next three years.” The project will result in the treatment of 65,000 metric tons of slag materials, say the firms.

“The signing of this major contract is the result of more than three years hard work by the Ultromex and EJM teams, including a pilot trial which validated and demonstrated to Rio Tinto the effectiveness of our Saltromex process for remediating slag,” says Nigel Seddon, CEO of Ultromex. “The Ultromex plant will be built during 2021 and will be capable of processing the waste at a rate of 18 metric tons per hour.”

Many aluminum smelting byproducts are hazardous in nature and historically were routinely landfilled before the EU and other regions changed regulations to prohibit further landfill, according to Ultromex. Ultromex says it now has a proven solution to resolve this global problem.

Ultromex describes itself as offering a range of technologies to treat and recycle aluminum smelting byproducts and residuals, including dross, salt slag, SPL and filter dusts, either as they arise at the smelter or where they have been stockpiled or landfilled.
