Improved understanding of Sodium hydroxide concentration role and kinetic model of cryolite reactive extraction in cathode Spent Pot Linings

Tropenauer Blaž, Klinar Dušan, Golob Janvit

Polish Journal of Chemical Technology

Vol. 23, nr 1

37--44

Spent Pot Lining (SPL) cathode pot, waste from the aluminium smelting process needs detoxification from cyanides, washing out water-soluble salts and extraction of the cryolite (Na3AlF6) decomposition products to be recycled. Revealed cryolite decomposition mechanism with NaOH opens possibilities to explore its critical role in the reactive extraction process. Common Na+ ion from NaOH hinders the solubility of the product but also drives mass transfer to the reaction site. Reaction mass balance provides adequate liquid to solid ratio (L/S) and NaOH concentration range. A newly developed kinetic model based on Whitman film theory and NaOH mass flow enables prediction of the reaction time to decompose cryolite to a low enough level. Results show that the internal particle resistance to transport (1/ks) is 19 times larger than the external (1/kl) one and governs the whole process.

Preparation of a solid product with high water content and water retention properties

Cvijić Marko, Golob Janvit

Vol. 22, nr 3

This work presents the development of a solid product with a high water content (99.08%) and water retention properties. Water was chosen as a potential carrier of a volatile active substance and water retaining properties of material were studied at a temperatures and relative air humidity values with the support of the theory of drying. The study first confirmed the role of Gibbs’ phase rule in the research of solid-gas phase equilibrium, and second presented drying kinetics developed from Fick’s second law and expressed with the first term of the Fourier equation. Solutions of equations for phase equilibrium and mass transfer enabled the calculation of Luikov’s parameters, which are important for equilibrium relations and for the diffusivity of water in a solid for mass transfer prediction. The obtained thermodynamic and kinetic parameters enabled product characterisation that may be important for the prediction of retention times.
