  2. Recycling by material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling_by_material

    Recycling is via a steelworks: scrap is either remelted in an electric arc furnace (90-100% scrap), or used as part of the charge in a Basic Oxygen Furnace (around 25% scrap). [20] Any grade of steel can be recycled to top quality new metal, with no 'downgrading' from prime to lower quality materials as steel is recycled repeatedly. 42% of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrap_metal_shredder

    Metal scrap recycling, also called secondary metal processing, is a large industry that processes, in the U.S. alone, 56 million tons of scrap iron and steel (including 10 million tons of scrap automobiles), 1.5 million tons of scrap copper, 2.5 million tons of scrap aluminum, 1.3 million tons of scrap lead, 300,000 tons of scrap zinc and ...

    The largest scrap metal shredder in the world was designed with 10,000 hp by the Schnitzer steel group of Portland, Oregon in 1980. The 9,200 hp (6,860 kW) Lynxs at the Sims Metal Management plant at the mouth of the River Usk in Newport, Wales has access by road, rail and sea. It can process 450 cars per hour. [2] [3] [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrap

    The metal recycling industry encompasses a wide range of metals. The more frequently recycled metals are scrap steel, iron (ISS), lead, aluminum, copper, stainless steel, and zinc. Steel [10] is the most recycled due to its sustainable properties. There are two main categories of metals: ferrous and non-ferrous.

    A wide range of metals in commercial and domestic use have well-developed recycling markets in most developed countries. Domestic recycling is commonly available for Iron [13] and steel, aluminium [13] and in particular beverage and food cans.

  7. Eddy current separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_separator

    Non-ferrous metals typically separated by an ECS include aluminum, copper and die-cast metals. [1] In waste sorting of single-stream recycling at materials recovery facilities, ECS is used after the waste has passed through some arrangement of magnets to remove ferrous metals. Eddy current separators are typically used at the end of the waste ...

  8. Recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling

    Strong magnets are used to separate out ferrous metals such as iron, steel and tin cans. Non-ferrous metals are ejected by magnetic eddy currents: A rotating magnetic field induces an electric current around aluminum cans, creating an eddy current inside the cans that is repulsed by a large magnetic field, ejecting the cans from the stream. [10]

  9. Single-stream recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-stream_recycling

    A single-stream system is a complex network of machinery that uses a combination of newer and older technologies to sort materials for recycling, including PET, HDPE, aluminum, tin cans, cardboard and paper. List of equipment used in a single-stream system: Back Scraping Drum: spreads materials out on a conveyor belt
