PROCESSES FOR TREATING FLY ASHES

摘要

There are provided processes for treating fly ash. For example, the processes can comprise leaching fly ash with HCI so as to obtain a Ieachate comprising aluminum ions and a solid, and separating the solid from the Ieachate; reacting the Ieachate with HCI so as to obtain a liquid and a precipitate comprising the aluminum ions in the form of AICI3, and separating the precipitate from the liquid; and heating the precipitate under conditions effective for converting AICI3 into AI2O3 and optionally recovering gaseous HCI so-produced.
