4. 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 ...

5. Aluminium dross recycling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_Dross_Recycling

   Hot dross processing is a system whereby the majority of metal is recovered without chemically reducing the aluminium oxides. The dross is first crushed then separated into aluminium rich particles and aluminium oxide rich particles based on density. The metal rich particles are then melted in a furnace to remove the remaining oxide particles.

6. Aircraft recycling - Wikipedia

   Aluminum is extracted from bauxite, aluminum's main ore, through electrolysis, which requires a lot of energy; 211 MJ of energy are required to produce one kilogram of aluminum with electrolysis. [2] Recycling aluminum is cheaper than manufacturing the alloy because it requires only remelting the used scrap. [2]

   US production of aluminum, 1940–2014. Data from USGS. The aluminum industry in the United States in 2023 produced 860 thousand metric tons of aluminum from refined metal ore (primary production), at six smelters. In addition, US industry recycled 3.4 million tons of aluminum (so-called secondary production aluminum). [1]
