A possible new application of HTGR process heat: Zinc- and aluminium-making processes

  • 1. Eidgenoessisches Inst. fuer Reaktorforschung, Wuerenlingen (Switzerland)

Description

The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) has frequently been suggested as a source of process heat for steel-making; now it has been suggested that it could also be used in the zinc- and aluminium-making processes. For that purpose, several procedures are proposed whereby the key steps in the reduction of zinc oxide are the use of a gas produced and heated by the HTGR process heat source. Also, for the aluminium-making process, a series of new techniques in connection with the Toth and Grothe processes, coupled to an HTGR, are discussed. (author)
