This paper focuses on the waste generated in the production of aluminum alloy forgings, and discusses the technology and method of its resource utilization. Waste treatment is an important environmental protection topic, and the conversion of waste into valuable resources is the current research focus. This paper first analyzes the main waste and its characteristics in the production of aluminum alloy forgings, then introduces the importance and status quo of waste resource utilization, and then focuses on the technology and method of waste resource utilization, and finally shows the application and prospect of waste resource utilization through examples.
As the demand for aluminum forgings grows, the amount of waste generated in the production process is also increasing. If these wastes are not handled properly, they not only pollute the environment, but also waste the valuable resources contained in them. Therefore, how to effectively utilize the waste in the production process of aluminum alloy forgings has become an important issue facing the aluminum alloy manufacturing industry.
The waste in the production of aluminum alloy forging mainly includes waste aluminum, coolant, lubricant, grinding waste and so on. Among these wastes, waste aluminum is the most valuable for recycling, because it still contains a large amount of aluminum. Other waste, if not handled correctly, will have a negative impact on the environment.
The utilization of waste resources can not only reduce environmental pollution, but also save natural resources, reduce production costs and improve economic benefits. At present, some advanced aluminum alloy manufacturing enterprises have begun to implement the recycling and reuse of waste, but in general, the degree of waste resource utilization is still low, and advanced technologies and methods need to be further promoted.
Recycling of waste aluminum: Waste aluminum can be converted into aluminum alloy raw materials through melting, refining and other processes. This recycling method can greatly reduce the mining and production of new aluminum, saving energy and resources.
Recycling of coolants and lubricants: through specific treatment equipment and technology, the used coolants and lubricants can be recycled to restore their performance to close to the original state and be used for production again.
Utilization of grinding waste: After sorting, crushing, screening and other pretreatment, grinding waste can be used as filler or raw material for the production of other products.
A large aluminum alloy forging production enterprise introduced a complete waste resource utilization system. The waste aluminum material is recycled and used again in the production of aluminum alloy forgings. Coolants and lubricants are recycled and reused in the production line. Grinding waste is used as raw material to supply other manufacturing industries. The introduction of this system enables enterprises to achieve zero waste discharge, and also brings significant economic benefits.
In the future, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the strengthening of environmental protection policies, the waste resource utilization in the production process of aluminum alloy forgings will have more space. The efficient, safe and environmentally friendly treatment of waste will promote enterprises to achieve a win-win situation of economic and environmental benefits.
Through the above analysis, we can see that the waste resource utilization in the production process of aluminum alloy forgings has important practical significance and long-term development prospects. Only by continuously strengthening technology research and development and application, and improving the utilization rate of waste resources, can we better achieve the sustainable development of aluminum alloy forgings production and make greater contributions to China’s green environmental protection cause.
