Adding salt to aluminium during the melting process is a common practice. The salt rises to the top of the melting vessel and forms a crust which limits the ingress of oxygen and thus limits oxidisation of the molten metal. The residue salt crust can be recycled but requires a milling process to make it suitable for reuse. The milling process generates a lot of fine particles which can form dust clouds and create a highly corrosive atmosphere. The creation of dust clouds can be suppressed by mixing the milled salt with a liquid. This is a processes known as powder conditioning.
