Abstract

Hazardous and toxic waste (B3), including aluminum slag, requires proper management to minimize risks to human health and the environment. This study evaluated the initial performance of a prototype for treating aluminum slag waste using temperature and gas levels as monitoring parameters. A total of 10 kg of aluminum slag was divided into two 5 kg samples: untreated slag and slag mixed with 10% H₂SO₄ at a 1:1 ratio. Testing was conducted in three 5-minute sessions with the blower turned off. Sample 1 showed temperatures of 30.1–30.8°C and gas levels of 26–28, while Sample 2 increased from 44.8°C to 72.12°C and from 72 to 500 in gas level. The MQ-2 reading exceeded the programmed threshold of 400 in the second and third sessions. Cooling was subsequently performed using a blower. Cooling data were estimates, requiring further validation through actual measurements and sensor calibration.
