Description
The process of smelting ingots from scrap aluminum is heated in a melting furnace above the melting point, removing impurities through refining, and finally pouring the pure aluminum liquid into a mold to cool and solidify into aluminum ingots.
The collection and transportation of this product is not taken into account in the respective marketing activities. This dataset is suitable for the recycling process of scrap aluminum dismantled in retired lithium iron phosphate batteries.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the treatment of waste aluminum materials derived from retired lithium iron phosphate batteries from fields such as power, consumer electronics, and energy storage, via the smelting and ingot casting process. It includes the consumption of energy (electricity, natural gas, water) and auxiliary materials (inorganic materials), as well as the discharge of solid wastes (suspended particulate matter, municipal solid waste), water pollutants (oil-containing substances) and air pollutants (particulate matter, chlorides, fluorides).
Process Description
Used for the recycling treatment of waste aluminum materials from retired lithium iron phosphate batteries.
