Abstract: • Utilizing phosphoric acid medium for recycling aluminium from waste pharmaceutical blister packages. • Research examining varying acid concentrations, temperatures, hydrogen peroxide amounts, and solid–liquid ratios. • Optimal leaching conditions identified as 1.0 M phosphoric acid, 60 °C temperature, and 1.25 vol% hydrogen peroxide. • Achieved approximately 100% aluminium extraction in just 4 h. This study investigated the process of treating secondary aluminium recovered from waste pharmaceutical blister packages (WPBs) using phosphoric acid solutions as a potential strategy for recycling this currently non-recycled waste material. The findings indicate that, when recycling via the hydrometallurgical process, the aluminium passivated during leaching can be effectively counteracted by employing moderately concentrated phosphoric acid solutions (1.0 M), elevated temperatures (60–80 °C) and specifically the addition of H 2 O 2 (1.25–2.5 vol.%). Under these conditions, complete extraction of aluminium was achieved within four hours. The estimated activation energy (∼82 kJ/mol) indicates that the leaching reaction is primarily limited by the chemical reaction rate rather than film diffusion. An aluminium phosphate solution could be obtained by leaching WPBs in a way that is suitable for subsequent aluminium phosphate crystallisation. This approach could provide a promising pathway for valorising aluminium from the currently under-utilised waste fraction of pharmaceutical blister packages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
