Abstract

This research aims to reduce salt imports in the aluminum industry sector, leading to reduce industrial aluminum waste that is disposed of in landfill. Here, optimization of local salt as a drossing flux for processing aluminum dross in the aluminum casting process was performed. In this research, the drossing flux based on Na2SO4-Na2[SiF6]-NaCl-NaNO3- NH4Cl of local salt is utilized as the base material to extract molten aluminum from black dross aluminum AlSi10Mg. The mass ratio of drossing flux tomolten material was 1:10, while a casting temperature was varied at 760oC and 800oC. The smelting process uses a ceramic crucible furnace and stirred at 7 rpm and fluxing time for 10 minutes. The results of this study indicate that the percentage of recovered aluminum obtained at a temperature of 760oC is 34.13%, while at a temperature of 800oC the percentage is 46.03%. In addition, recovered aluminum from local salt of drossing flux has better fluidity and mechanical properties than the aluminum casting of AlSi10Mg without flux.
