Zusammenfassung:A process is described for the treatment of spent pot lining material from electrolyte reduction cells, this spent material having a substantial content of cryolit e. The spent material is first leached with water at a dilution and a time sufficient to dissolve substantially all water soluble fluorides, after which the solid residue is separated from the liquid. The solid residue obtained is then subjected to a caustic leach with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution containing about 20 to 50 g/L of NaOH and thereafter the solid residue is separated from the liquid.
