Baux Ore

Product description

Baux Ore (Dross) is a by-product of Bauxite smelting for the production of Aluminium, and has to be removed from the furnaces on a regular basis.

This particular piece is from near Warsaw, Poland.

Until now, the Dross was removed and sent to landfill, a polluting and expensive exercise.

Finally a recycling process has been developed that provides a powder for use in the metallurgy industry.

This is an unusual addition to a collection
