Red Mud Stabilization Demonstration at MAL in Ajka
/EINPresswire.com/ Budapest, 25 July 2011 - ParaTech Hungary Kft. announced that their demonstration to stabilize red mud from any ph about the neutral range to a safe level of 7, was completely successful. The demonstration involved use of approximately 6 metric tons of red mud made available through a demonstration agreement with MAL.
ParaTech Hungary, Kft., a subsidiary of ParaTech Global, headquartered in the US Virgin Islands, used a Hungarian patented process to reset the red mud ph to 7; a ph level that is of no danger or harm to people. The company also announced that stabilized red mud has been successfully tested as an ingredient in both ceramic/cementious building products, substituting for clay/aggregate. Approval for its use as an ingredient in these products is being sought for the entire EU.
In addition, the company also reset the ph of the chemical liquid in the red mud to 7, turning it into a weak solution of sodium sulfate. They are awaiting approval of a Hungarian Environmental permit application to demonstrate another patented technology to split this chemical into two other chemicals that may be safely sold in the industrial chemical market. Following both processes, it is claimed there are no waste products remaining.
Dr. Richard Moore, CEO of ParaTech Global attached a statement saying..."We are grateful to Dr. Lajos Tolnay, Chairman of MAL, for his support through an agreement with our company to allow us the use of a sample of their red mud and space on their property to perform this demonstration. The introduction of our innovative technologies to the aluminum industry is not disruptive, but represents a vehicle by which to move the aluminum industry closer to full sustainability. Throughout the world more than 75 million tons of red mud is placed each year in wet and dry stacks fully open to the environment. This annual amount adds to the more than 1.5 billion tons that has already been placed.
He further stated that..."We also offer our thanks to Andras Santa of Veolia Water Solutions, their entire engineering staff and subcontractors for turning our basic design into a 30,000 ton per year or 1/10 scale red mud processing plant."
During the demonstration, an independent chemical testing service secured samples of all the material used and will perform impartial testing on same to support the claims of the company. The result of those tests is forthcoming.
