Fluoride Evaporation during Thermal Treatment of Waste Slag from Mg Production Using Pidgeon Process

摘要

Fluoride evaporation from Mg slag samples was investigated.F content in the original slag sample from an Mg factory was 1.65％,which decreases to 0.98-1.54％ in the samples heated at 1000-1400°C for 3 hours.The values of F evaporation from the test samples were 6.7-40.6％.The fluorides may evaporate in the atmosphere,causing air pollution.Some suggestions were presented based on study results obtained to minimize fluoride emissions and improve environmental performances of the Mg production by using Pidgeon process.
