The investment cost, operating, and maintenance costs, and energy costs for the application of control technologies to the wastewaters of the Aluminum Forming Industry have been analyzed. 

As a result of variation shown in toxicity, the evaluation of technologies applicable for discharge control, and treatment by some compounds within the industrial chemicals, the SIC 281 groups are further subdivided into 11 subcategories.23 They are aluminum fluoride, chlor-alkali, chrome pigments, copper sulfate, hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen cyanide, nickel sulfate, sodium bisulfate, sodium... 

Anodic oxidation of valve metals, particularly, aluminum, has attracted considerable attention because of its wide application in various fields of technology. Traditionally, aluminum is anodized in order to protect the metal against corrosion, to improve its abrasion and adsorption properties, etc.1 The more recent and rapidly growing applications of anodic aluminas in electronics are due to their excellent dielectric properties, perfect planarity, and good reproducibility in production. Finally, ways have recently been found to use the energy potential of aluminum oxidation for chemical power sources of the metal-air type2,3 and other electrochemical applications. 

Anodic alumina oxides find steadily growing application in various spheres of technology. Traditionally, they are most popular in civil industrial engineering for producing protective and decorative surface finish in panels and different objects. These applications are well reviewed in the literature.321 Anodic alumina is also widely used in the aircraft and aerospace industry for adhesive bonding of aluminum structures,322-324 composite materials, etc. 

In recent years the coordination of N-, P-, or O-donor Lewis bases to aluminum and gallium trihydrides has been studied extensively (27). Interest in these complexes stems in part from their applications in a wide variety of areas, for example chemical vapor deposition technology (28) and organic synthesis (29). However, the corresponding carbene complexes of the heavier group 13 trihydrides have only been... 

The development of ionic liquids dates to 1914. The first research efforts involved the synthesis of ethylammonium nitrate. Hurley and Wier at the Rice Institute in Texas, 1948, developed the first ionic liquids with chloro-aluminate ions as bath solutions for electroplating aluminum. These liquids were studied primarily for their applications as electrolytes in electrochemistry technologies such as electroplating, batteries and alloy preparations. 

The CFX MiniFix technology can treat solids, sludges, and most liquids. The treatment is applicable to a variety of heavy metals such as aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, hexavalent chromium, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, selenium, silver, thallium, and zinc. The technology also treats organic compounds with high molecular weights. 

The vendors state that data from bench- and pilot-scale evaluations of Diphonix resin should only be used as a general guide to applications of the technology to real-world applications. Each use of the technology will likely require site- and waste-specific evaluations before the initiation of treatment. Some metals (i.e., iron and aluminum) can interfere with the extraction of targeted radionuclides in mixed-waste applications.
