Abstract: According to the present method it is possible to recover metallic aluminium easily and at high recovery rate and low cost from metallic aluminium containing wastes disposed recently in great amounts, said wastes being, for example, aluminium can, aluminium laminated foil, aluminium scraps, aluminium chips, and any other aluminium containing (or accompanying) material. The invention is technically constituted such that the combustible substances of metallic aluminium containing materials are carbonized in a kiln in an atmosphere where oxygen concentration is not higher than 10% by volume or an atmosphere of a carbon dioxide gas, and which kiln is in the temperature range of 300.degree.-600.degree. C., and after cooling, carbonized material and iron content are separated by sieving or magnetically.

Abstract: The mold release material for die castings is such one that an emulsion based on animal or vegetable oils, mineral oil, fatty acid and esters thereof is added an alkali metal or alkali earth metal salt of EDTA in the range 10-10,000 ppm. The alkali metal or alkali earth metal salt of EDTA prevents the aqueous solution of emulsion of the mold release material of the invention from micell formation, forms a stable emulsion, is scarcely affected by temperature, and forms bivalent metal ion and water soluble complex whereby it does not form deposits even if hard water is used as diluted water of the mold release material.
