Chosen for its global industry relevance, aluminium salt slag, requires treatment before disposal due to its hazardous nature and limited recovery options. Si-rich wastes also lack definitive recovery methods, presenting management challenges.
Z-ONA zeolite from aluminium slag offers a promising solution without complex systems. Scaling up at a pilot plant level is critical for industrial implementation, while the near zero-waste process allows valuable by-product recovery.
Z-ONA zeolite treats polluted effluents in different scenarios: gas flow cleaning, challenged wastewater depuration from waste treatment plant, livestock slurry treatment, and mining wastewater depollution. Moreover, to achieve near zero-waste, spent zeolite enhance composting, and gases produced are recovered for commercial purposes.
Z-ONA4LIFE aims for realistic implementation of innovative technology at a marketable scale. It does so by demonstrating scalable Z-ONA zeolite manufacturing on a pilot scale. Z-ONA4LIFE implements an effective dissemination strategy to ensure project results exploitation, wide replication and reliable sustainability plan.
