Oxidizing compounds<\/strong>\u00a0(small percentages of MnO\u2082 or similar): Promote controlled oxidation reactions that improve dross separation from metallic aluminum.<\/p>\nAnti-caking agents<\/strong>: Prevent storage clumping without affecting metallurgical performance. This is primarily a logistics quality parameter but significantly affects application consistency.<\/p>\nDensity modifiers<\/strong>: Adjust the overall flux density to optimize layer positioning at the melt surface.<\/p>\nParticle size distribution engineering<\/strong>: The physical form of flux particles affects spreading rate, dissolution speed, and reaction kinetics. Coarser particles spread more slowly but provide longer-lasting coverage. Finer particles react more quickly but may create dust handling issues.<\/p>\nWhere and When Is Aluminum Flux Used in the Production Process?<\/h2>\n Aluminum flux is not a single-point addition \u2014 it is used at multiple stages throughout the aluminum production and casting process, with each application point serving a distinct metallurgical objective.<\/p>\n
During Charge Melting<\/h3>\n When solid aluminum is being melted from ingots, sows, or scrap, flux can be added to the furnace during the melting process to:<\/p>\n
\nProtect newly melted metal from immediate oxidation.<\/li>\n Begin removing oxide films from the charge materials as they melt.<\/li>\n Reduce the surface tension of the molten metal to improve charge sinking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nMelting-stage flux additions are typically higher in reactive fluoride content than holding-stage additions, because the heavy oxide burden from scrap materials requires more aggressive chemical dissolution.<\/p>\n
During Holding and Transfer<\/h3>\n The holding furnace \u2014 where liquid aluminum waits between melting and casting \u2014 is the most critical flux application point in most foundry operations. During holding:<\/p>\n
\nCovering flux maintains a continuous protective layer over the melt surface.<\/li>\n Refining flux treatment is performed periodically to remove accumulated inclusions and dissolved hydrogen.<\/li>\n Dross is periodically skimmed and fresh flux applied.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAt the Casting Station<\/h3>\n Some operations apply flux or use flux-coated transfer tools at the casting point to minimize oxidation during the turbulent pouring operation. Flux-lined ladles or flux additions immediately before pouring can reduce casting-surface oxide defects in critical applications.<\/p>\n
In Dross Processing<\/h3>\n Dross recovered from furnace skimming is processed separately using dross treatment flux. This application point is often overlooked in discussions of aluminum flux but represents one of the highest-impact opportunities for yield improvement.<\/p>\n

The same flux product can produce dramatically different metallurgical outcomes depending on application technique, timing, and equipment.<\/p>\n
Manual Surface Application<\/h3>\n The simplest and most widely used method in small to medium operations. Granular or powdered flux is spread across the melt surface using a perforated ladle, mesh basket, or hand-dispensing tool.<\/p>\n
Best practice protocol for manual surface application:<\/strong><\/p>\n\nPreheat the dispensing tool to prevent thermal shock or moisture transfer to the flux.<\/li>\n Apply flux at a measured rate \u2014 calculate required weight based on bath surface area.<\/li>\n Distribute flux uniformly across the entire exposed melt surface, not just near the furnace door.<\/li>\n Allow 5\u201310 minutes for flux to melt and spread before agitating or skimming.<\/li>\n Check that no bare metal patches remain visible before proceeding.<\/li>\n After treatment, skim the flux-dross layer systematically from one side to the other.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nAdvantages: Low capital cost, operational simplicity, suitable for intermittent batch operations.<\/p>\n
Limitations: Operator-dependent consistency, limited penetration into bulk melt for refining applications, less suitable for large furnaces where uniform coverage is difficult.<\/p>\n
Flux Tablet Plunging<\/h3>\n Degassing flux tablets are plunged below the melt surface using a graphite rod, perforated graphite lance, or similar tool. The tablet reacts upon contact with liquid aluminum, generating gas that bubbles upward through the melt.<\/p>\n
Procedure:<\/strong><\/p>\n\nPre-dry the plunging rod to remove surface moisture.<\/li>\n Attach or position the tablet at the rod end.<\/li>\n Lower the tablet to approximately mid-depth in the melt bath.<\/li>\n Hold position while the tablet reacts fully (typically 30\u2013120 seconds depending on tablet size).<\/li>\n Move the tablet slowly through the melt during reaction to distribute gas bubble generation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe effectiveness of tablet plunging depends critically on tablet positioning. Tablets reacted at the melt surface are substantially less effective than those reacted in the melt interior, because the gas bubble travel path through the melt is minimized.<\/p>\n
Lance Injection Systems<\/h3>\n For medium to large holding furnaces, pneumatic powder injection through a submerged lance provides more uniform flux distribution and better melt penetration than surface application. Flux powder is fluidized by carrier gas (nitrogen or argon) and injected through a ceramic or graphite lance positioned below the melt surface.<\/p>\n

The rotating impeller at 200\u2013600 RPM shears gas bubbles into extremely fine droplets \u2014 far smaller than those produced by static lance injection \u2014 dramatically increasing the gas-melt interfacial area and accelerating both hydrogen removal and inclusion flotation.<\/p>\n
When flux is simultaneously injected through the rotor shaft, the mechanical shear distributes flux particles throughout the melt volume, achieving purification rates that surface application cannot match.<\/p>\n

These systems remove human variability from the application process and can integrate with melt quality monitoring systems to adjust dosing based on measured hydrogen or inclusion levels.<\/p>\n
How Do You Select the Right Aluminum Flux for Your Alloy?<\/h2>\n Flux selection is not a generic decision. The specific alloy being processed, the charge quality, the furnace type, and the downstream quality requirements all constrain which flux formulations are appropriate.<\/p>\nSix step tutorial on how to choose the appropriate flux for molten aluminum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nUnderstanding the Alloy Chemistry Constraints<\/h3>\n Every aluminum alloy family has chemistry-specific interactions with flux components that must be understood before selecting a product:<\/p>\n
Magnesium content<\/strong>: Alloys containing more than 0.5% Mg (including 5xxx wrought alloys and many 3xx.x casting alloys like A356) react with fluoride flux components. Fluoride ions attack MgO surface layers and also react with dissolved magnesium, depleting alloy Mg content. Low-fluoride or fluoride-free flux is required for these alloys.<\/p>\nStrontium modification<\/strong>: A356, A357, and similar Al-Si-Mg alloys often use strontium (0.008\u20130.025%) to modify eutectic silicon morphology. Chloride flux systems, particularly those generating chlorine gas, react with strontium to form SrCl\u2082, which partitions into the dross and removes strontium from the melt. Flux selection and timing must account for this depletion.<\/p>\nSodium sensitivity<\/strong>: In any strontium-modified alloy, the sodium content of the flux itself matters. High-sodium flux (from NaCl-heavy formulations) can introduce sufficient sodium to counteract strontium modification effects.<\/p>\nCharge Quality and Contamination Level<\/h3>\n The cleanliness of the charge materials determines how aggressive the refining flux chemistry needs to be:<\/p>\n

\nIdentify alloy Mg content \u2192 if above 0.5%, eliminate high-fluoride options.<\/li>\n Check for strontium modification requirement \u2192 if yes, select low-sodium, low-chlorine formulation.<\/li>\n Assess charge cleanliness \u2192 higher scrap content requires more active chemistry.<\/li>\n Determine application method \u2192 powder injection systems can use finer particle flux; manual application needs granular or coarser product.<\/li>\n Check environmental and regulatory requirements \u2192 some fluoride compounds have regional restrictions.<\/li>\n Verify furnace refractory compatibility \u2192 fluoride-rich fluxes are more aggressive toward certain refractory materials.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nHow Is Aluminum Flux Performance Measured and Verified?<\/h2>\n Without measurement, flux application is guesswork. The aluminum industry has developed several standardized and semi-standardized methods for quantifying the metallurgical improvements achieved through flux treatment.<\/p>\n
Reduced Pressure Test (RPT) and Density Index<\/h3>\n The Reduced Pressure Test is the most widely used field measurement for evaluating dissolved hydrogen content in aluminum. A small melt sample (typically 100\u2013200g) solidifies in a chamber maintained at approximately 80 mbar (roughly 1\/13 atmospheric pressure). The reduced pressure causes dissolved hydrogen to expand into visible porosity in the test sample.<\/p>\n
Density Index (DI) calculation:
Where \u03c1_atm is the density of a sample solidified at atmospheric pressure and \u03c1_vac is the density of the reduced-pressure sample.<\/p>\n
Density Index benchmarks by application:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Metal is poured into a stepped mold that progressively reduces in section thickness. Inclusions act as stress concentrators that cause fracture in thinner sections. The test result is rated visually by the number and thickness of sections that fracture cleanly.<\/p>\n
While not as quantitatively rigorous as laboratory filtration methods, the K-mold test is valuable for real-time production monitoring because of its speed and low cost.<\/p>\n
Dross Quality Assessment<\/h3>\n After flux treatment and skimming, the character of the dross provides direct feedback on flux performance:<\/p>\n
Dry, powdery, light-colored dross<\/strong>: Indicates effective flux coverage and good dross-metal separation. Metal content typically 25\u201340%.<\/p>\nMoist, sticky, darker dross<\/strong>: Indicates incomplete flux coverage or inadequate treatment time. Metal content typically 40\u201360%.<\/p>\nWet, heavy, black dross<\/strong>: Indicates significant coverage failure or very contaminated charge. Metal content 60\u201380% but recovery is difficult.<\/p>\nSpectroscopic Composition Verification<\/h3>\n Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES) using arc or spark excitation measures melt composition after flux treatment, confirming that alkali metal removal targets have been achieved and that the flux has not introduced unwanted trace elements. Sodium, calcium, and lithium levels are the primary post-treatment verification targets in alloys where these elements affect quality.<\/p>\n
Safety, Storage, and Environmental Considerations for Aluminum Flux<\/h2>\n Aluminum flux presents specific safety challenges that require systematic management. These hazards are real and have caused serious incidents in the aluminum industry, but they are entirely manageable with appropriate controls.<\/p>\n
The Moisture Explosion Hazard<\/h3>\n The most serious safety risk associated with aluminum flux is the steam explosion hazard from wet flux contacting molten aluminum. Moisture in contact with liquid aluminum at temperatures above 700\u00b0C vaporizes instantaneously, with a volume expansion of approximately 1,600 times. This explosive steam generation can project molten aluminum and hot flux material across significant distances, causing severe burns.<\/p>\n
Mandatory moisture controls:<\/strong><\/p>\n\nStore all flux products in sealed, moisture-barrier packaging in dry, indoor conditions.<\/li>\n Maintain storage area relative humidity below 50%.<\/li>\n Never use flux that has been exposed to rain, direct water contact, or visible moisture.<\/li>\n Pre-dry all flux application tools and transfer equipment before contact with the melt.<\/li>\n Test moisture content of new flux batches \u2014 acceptable limit is below 0.3% by weight.<\/li>\n Train all personnel in explosion hazard awareness and emergency response.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nGas Generation Hazards<\/h3>\n Flux treatment at elevated temperatures generates gases including hydrogen chloride (HCl), small quantities of chlorine (Cl\u2082), and fluoride-containing vapors. Permissible exposure limits for these gases:<\/p>\n

Fluoride-containing dross is classified as hazardous waste in many jurisdictions due to fluoride leachability potential. Key regulatory frameworks affecting disposal:<\/p>\n
US RCRA<\/strong>: Spent salt flux residues containing fluoride compounds may qualify as K088 listed hazardous waste (from aluminum production). Proper characterization through Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) testing determines whether material requires hazardous waste disposal.<\/p>\nEU Waste Framework Directive<\/strong>: Fluoride-containing dross typically classified as HP14 (ecotoxic) hazardous waste requiring controlled disposal at licensed facilities.<\/p>\nBest practice<\/strong>: Partner with certified dross recycling facilities that recover both the metallic aluminum fraction and the salt fraction for secondary salt production, achieving near-zero landfill from flux residues.<\/p>\nCommon Aluminum Flux Application Problems and Practical Solutions<\/h2>\n Even experienced operations encounter flux application challenges. The following are the most frequently encountered problems and their underlying causes.<\/p>\n
Inconsistent Density Index Results After Flux Treatment<\/h3>\n Symptom<\/strong>: Density index values vary widely between heats despite apparently consistent flux application.<\/p>\nCauses and solutions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n
\n\n\nProbable Cause<\/th>\n Diagnostic Indicator<\/th>\n Corrective Action<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n \n\nInconsistent flux moisture<\/td>\n Higher DI on humid days<\/td>\n Test flux moisture, improve storage<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nVariable application coverage<\/td>\n Visible bare melt patches<\/td>\n Implement area-based dosing protocol<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nInconsistent charge moisture<\/td>\n Higher DI with certain scrap sources<\/td>\n Pre-dry scrap, identify moisture sources<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nRefractory outgassing<\/td>\n High DI after furnace relining<\/td>\n Extended preheat cycle after relining<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nInadequate flux contact time<\/td>\n Low DI on heats with longer hold<\/td>\n Establish minimum treatment time standard<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\nExcessive Dross Generation<\/h3>\n Symptom<\/strong>: Dross volume per ton of aluminum is significantly higher than industry benchmarks.<\/p>\nTypical benchmark: well-operated furnaces with good flux management generate 10\u201325 kg of dross per ton of aluminum processed. Values above 30 kg\/ton indicate a process problem.<\/p>\n
Primary causes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\nInadequate flux coverage allowing excessive surface oxidation.<\/li>\n Excessive furnace temperature causing accelerated oxidation kinetics.<\/li>\n High oxide content in charge materials not adequately addressed by flux chemistry.<\/li>\n Mechanical turbulence from charging or transfer creating large surface area for oxidation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFlux Not Spreading Properly<\/h3>\n Symptom<\/strong>: Applied flux remains in clumps rather than spreading to form a continuous layer.<\/p>\nCauses<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\nFlux has absorbed moisture and caked \u2014 moisture causes particle agglomeration that prevents spreading.<\/li>\n Melt temperature too low \u2014 flux requires adequate temperature to melt and spread.<\/li>\n Flux being applied to a thick existing dross layer that prevents contact with molten metal below.<\/li>\n Wrong particle size for the application \u2014 very coarse flux spreads slowly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSolution sequence<\/strong>: First, check flux moisture condition. Second, verify furnace temperature is above the flux melting point. Third, skim existing dross before applying fresh flux. Fourth, consider finer particle size flux for the application.<\/p>\nStrontium Loss After Flux Treatment<\/h3>\n Symptom<\/strong>: Spectrochemical analysis shows strontium dropping below target (typically 0.008\u20130.012% for A356) after flux treatment or degassing tablet use.<\/p>\nSolutions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\nSwitch to low-chloride flux formulation verified for strontium compatibility.<\/li>\n Add strontium after flux treatment rather than before.<\/li>\n Increase strontium addition rate to compensate for systematic flux-induced depletion.<\/li>\n Minimize flux treatment time in modified alloys.<\/li>\n Use physical covering flux only (minimal chloride activity) after strontium addition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFAQs About Aluminum Flux<\/h2>\n Q1: What is aluminum flux made of?<\/strong><\/p>\nAluminum flux is primarily composed of chloride salts \u2014 potassium chloride (KCl) and sodium chloride (NaCl) \u2014 as the base components, combined with varying amounts of fluoride compounds such as cryolite (Na\u2083AlF\u2086), aluminum fluoride (AlF\u2083), and calcium fluoride (CaF\u2082). The specific ratio of these components determines whether the flux functions as a covering flux (surface protection), refining flux (melt purification), or combination product. Some specialty fluxes also contain reactive additives that generate gas for hydrogen removal or initiate exothermic reactions for dross processing.<\/p>\n
Q2: What is the purpose of flux in aluminum casting?<\/strong><\/p>\nFlux serves four main purposes in aluminum casting: it prevents surface oxidation by creating a protective barrier over the molten metal surface; it removes dissolved hydrogen that would otherwise cause porosity in solidified castings; it agglomerates and floats non-metallic inclusions (primarily aluminum oxide films) to the melt surface for skimming; and it removes alkali metal impurities (sodium, calcium, lithium) that degrade casting quality. Without flux, molten aluminum degrades rapidly in quality, producing castings with porosity, inclusion defects, and inferior mechanical properties.<\/p>\n
Q3: How much flux should be added to molten aluminum?<\/strong><\/p>\nStandard addition rates range from 1 to 3 kg of flux per metric ton of molten aluminum for typical foundry holding furnace applications. The correct rate depends on several factors: charge contamination level (higher scrap content requires more flux), furnace surface area (larger surfaces need more covering flux per unit of metal), alloy type, and specific metallurgical targets. Start at 1.5 kg\/ton and adjust based on density index results and dross quality observations.<\/p>\n
Q4: Can aluminum flux be used with all aluminum alloys?<\/strong><\/p>\nNo. Alloy chemistry significantly constrains flux selection. Magnesium-containing alloys (5xxx wrought series, A356 casting alloy) require low-fluoride or fluoride-free flux because fluoride reacts with magnesium and depletes alloy Mg content. Strontium-modified casting alloys need low-sodium, low-chlorine flux formulations to avoid neutralizing the modification treatment. Always verify flux compatibility with the specific alloy being processed before committing to a product.<\/p>\n
Q5: What is the difference between flux and degassing in aluminum processing?<\/strong><\/p>\nFlux treatment and degassing are complementary but distinct processes. Flux treatment focuses on surface protection, oxide removal, and inclusion flotation, with some hydrogen removal as a secondary effect. Degassing \u2014 typically performed using rotary impellers with argon or nitrogen gas \u2014 is specifically optimized for hydrogen removal through gas bubble flotation. In practice, the best results come from combining both: flux treatment removes inclusions and reduces oxide barriers, then rotary degassing efficiently removes dissolved hydrogen with higher effectiveness than either process alone.<\/p>\n
Q6: Is aluminum flux hazardous?<\/strong><\/p>\nAluminum flux presents several handling hazards that require proper controls. The primary risk is the steam explosion hazard from moisture-contaminated flux contacting molten aluminum \u2014 a potentially lethal risk if stored or handled incorrectly. Flux treatment also generates hydrogen chloride and small amounts of chlorine gas that require adequate ventilation and respiratory protection. Fluoride-containing flux components are skin, eye, and respiratory irritants. With appropriate storage conditions (dry, sealed, indoor), proper personal protective equipment, and adequate furnace ventilation, these hazards are manageable within standard industrial safety frameworks.<\/p>\n
Q7: How do you know when aluminum flux needs to be replenished?<\/strong><\/p>\nSeveral indicators signal that flux coverage has been exhausted and replenishment is needed: the melt surface becomes visually dark and dull rather than showing the luminous character of a fluxed surface; bare metal patches become visible through the flux layer; dross generation rate increases; and density index measurements begin trending upward. In continuous production, establish a time-based replenishment schedule based on your specific furnace and production rate, supplemented by visual monitoring.<\/p>\n
Q8: What happens if too much flux is added to aluminum?<\/strong><\/p>\nOver-dosing flux creates problems that are different from but equally problematic to under-dosing. Excess flux that cannot be absorbed into the dross layer can sink into the melt, creating flux inclusions in the solidified casting. Excessive chloride flux activity can increase hydrogen generation rather than removal at very high concentrations. Over-treatment with fluoride flux can deplete magnesium in sensitive alloys and potentially introduce fluoride-based inclusions. Calibrate flux addition rates carefully rather than assuming more flux always produces better results.<\/p>\n
Q9: What is the shelf life of aluminum flux, and how should it be stored?<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen stored in original, sealed, moisture-barrier packaging in dry indoor conditions with relative humidity below 50% and temperatures between 5\u00b0C and 35\u00b0C, most aluminum flux products maintain performance for 12\u201324 months. Once packaging is opened, the unused portion should be immediately resealed and used within 30 days. Moisture is the primary degradation mechanism \u2014 absorbed moisture causes caking that impedes spreading, and more critically, creates steam explosion risk when the flux contacts molten aluminum. Always verify moisture content of flux batches that have been in storage for more than 12 months before using.<\/p>\n
Q10: What is the difference between flux for welding and flux for aluminum casting?<\/strong><\/p>\nThese are completely different products serving different purposes. Welding flux (used in processes like SMAW\/stick welding or flux-cored arc welding) is designed to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination during solidification at the local weld zone, and is engineered around the metallurgical requirements of the welding process. Aluminum casting flux is designed for application to large volumes of molten aluminum at steady-state holding temperatures, with the goals of melt-volume purification, hydrogen removal, and dross management across production heats. The chemistry, application method, and metallurgical mechanisms are entirely different, and the two product categories are not interchangeable.<\/p>\n
Conclusion: Building an Effective Aluminum Flux Program<\/h2>\n The question “what is aluminum flux” has a simple surface answer \u2014 a chemical compound that protects and purifies molten aluminum \u2014 but the practical application of flux knowledge spans chemistry, process engineering, metallurgy, environmental management, and economics. Effective flux programs require matching the right flux type and chemistry to the specific alloy and charge conditions, applying it through the most appropriate method for the furnace and production volume, and measuring the results systematically to drive continuous improvement.<\/p>\n
At AdTech, our experience across hundreds of aluminum casting operations consistently confirms that the highest-performing facilities are those that treat their flux program as a precision process rather than a background consumable. The difference between an optimized flux program and a poorly managed one is measurable in yield percentages, casting rejection rates, and dross metal recovery figures that translate directly to operational profitability.<\/p>\n

The direct answer to “what is aluminum flux” is this: it is the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3394,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
