Read MoreThe worldwide aluminium industry produces nearly five million tonnes of furnace waste each year. Known as dross, the residual waste material is produced from any process in which aluminium is melted, and is left behind after conventional recycling has been carried out. Traditionally, black (which has a much higher salt content) and white dross ...
