Effect of disposal of aluminum recycling waste in soil and water bodies

This study evaluated environmental contamination by disposal of waste from tertiary aluminum industry in soil and water bodies. The main wastes of this industry are dross, non-metallic waste (product of dross leached with water) and liquid effluent. The water at the bottom of the pond, where the alk...

Zusammenfassung:This study evaluated environmental contamination by disposal of waste from tertiary aluminum industry in soil and water bodies. The main wastes of this industry are dross, non-metallic waste (product of dross leached with water) and liquid effluent. The water at the bottom of the pond, where the alkaline and saline aluminum effluent is discharged, presented high values of pH (>9) and high concentration of ammonia (N-NH 3 ). However, dross disposal in soil decreased pH (
