novaFrit International - Environment
The CAlSiFrit process is environmentally sound as it produces no residues whatsoever, neither solid nor liquid. This pyrometallurgical process is highly viable and sustainable as it succeeds in bringing solutions to two worldwide industries, namely the aluminium smelting industry and the cement industry. The ability to sell the end products at fair market value permits the reduction of waste treatment charges while generating interesting returns for investors.
The CAlSiFrit process is not a treatment process to detoxify the SPL leaving residues to be eliminated one way or another, it is a recycling process making complete use of the fed material to elaborate new value-added commercial products showing completely different mechanical, physical and chemical properties than those of the fed material.
The process also results in a credit concerning the GHG and the Kyoto agreement. Each ton of processed SPL will be the object of a net credit of 0.65 ton of CO 2 as CAlSiFrit will substitute more than its equivalent weight of Portland cement.
A 1200 ton mass balance test including measurements of fluorine and CO 2 , which was undertaken by an independent environmental consulting firm, confirms the total recycling concept of the process.
