Removal of elemental phosphorus from electric furnace sludges of various origins
- Univ. of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL (United States)
A method developed by researchers at the University of Alabama has successfully eliminated the toxic and flammable characteristics of elemental phosphorus from by-product sludges produced from operations of electric furnaces at widely separated facilities. The removal process is first order with respect to elemental phosphorus concentration with a rate constant of 0.02 min{sup {minus}1}. The residuals produced contain cadmium, chromium, and lead concentrations above the TCLP limit and thus will require further treatment. 7 refs., 8 figs., 3 tabs.
