Date May 30, 1996The treatment, through a dry adsorption process, of a gas from a hot electrolytic process for aluminum production comprises at least two stages. Particulate aluminum oxide (the adsorbent) passes through the stages of the adsorption process countercurrently to the gas. Thus, the gas is treated with a partly spent adsorbent in a first dry adsorption stage, whereupon the particulate adsorbent is separated from the gas downstream from the first adsorption stage. Part of the separated particulate adsorbent is removed from the adsorption process for recycling adsorbed fluorine-containing substances to the electrolytic process. The remainder of the separated adsorbent is recirculated in the first adsorption stage in order to optimize the adsorption of fluorine-containing substances and the desorption of sulfur dioxide from the aluminum oxide in this stage. Simultaneously, the gas is transferred to a second dry adsorption stage. In this second stage, the gas is treated with essentially unspent, reactive particulate aluminum oxide, so that any gaseous fluoride remaining in the gas is very efficiently adsorbed, while at the same time a substantial part of the sulfur dioxide in the gas is also adsorbed. Finally, this particulate aluminum oxide is separated from the gas downstream from the second dry adsorption stage, before the gas is discharged into the surrounding atmosphere. The separated aluminum oxide is transferred to the first adsorption stage, optionally after passing a desorption stage for the removal of the adsorbed sulfur dioxide in order to reduce the discharges of sulfur dioxide from the aluminum production. The separation of sulphur dioxide in the second adsorption stage is improved by recycling, to the second adsorption stage, aluminum oxide having undergone the desorption treatment. |
