Abstract As a hazardous solid waste rich in carbon and fluorine, spent pot lining (SPL) is a huge threat to sustainable production and environmental security. As abundant carbon and fluorine resources, the use of such valuable components has great practical and economic significance. Based on the environmental concerns and the component characteristics of SPL, coal gangue (CG), the largest output of solid wastes in the coal-producing industry and rich in aluminum and silicon, was introduced in the utilization and detoxification process of SPL in this work. The substance flow of the co-utilization process presents a circular economy and complementary advantages of SPL and CG. Pure regular fibrous silicon carbides were obtained owing to the synergy effect of SPL and CG. Aluminum from CG and SPL was utilized to prepare dawsonite combined with the sodium from the impurities removal process. Pure cryolite was obtained via mixing wastewater from the silicon carbide purification process and the dawsonite extraction process. Almost all components in SPL and CG were converted into valuable products, and no wastewater and residue was discharged. Thus, a sustainable process of trash to treasure and circular economy for treating CG and SPL was established here with environmental and economically friendly characteristics, which gave a new insight into utilizing wastes with complementary advantages.
