The valorization of black sludge is an environmental problem of the aluminium industry because of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH), fluoride and alumina contents. A soil washing operated in a cell flotation with non-ionic surfactants (Brij 35, Igepal CA-720, Triton X-100, Tween 80) at different concentrations has been tested in order to remove the PAH (benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(j)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, fluoranthene) detected in black sludge. The Tween 80 at 0.5% gave the best results with PAH removal rates between 35 and 50%. These percentages remain low due to the presence in large quantity of fine solid particles (45%) in the PAH concentrate produced by the flotation process. The substitution of the cell flotation by a column flotation allowed the reduction of this problem. Thus, the PAH removal rates reached 60%. This removal yield has been obtained with the lowest wash water flow-rate (150 ml min−1) and pulp total solids (10% p p−1) tested.
