- Metals recycling is a
‘pyramid’ industry which includes many small, family owned companies, as
well as large, international businesses.
- All metals are made
from non-renewable minerals and ores (such as iron-ore) found in the
soils and rocks of the earth's crust.
- Metal products such as
steel and aluminium cans can be recycled through the kerbside recycling
system.
- Metals recycling
protects the environment and saves energy.
- Steel cans including
aerosol (spray) cans, can be recycled through the kerbside collection
system.
- The manufacturing
processes generally do not change the properties of the metals (except
in alloys and other mixtures), only the shapes. Therefore
recycling
metals is a simple process of melting and reshaping.
- Aluminium is made from
an ore called bauxite. Australia is one of the largest producers of
bauxite.
- Converting bauxite to
aluminium is not as simple as melting the ore and recovering the
metal.
- Molten salt
electrolysis method uses activated metal waste as an anode. Recovery
iron and chromium are collected as a deposit of a cathode.
- Trace metals can play
an important role in controlling primary productivity and major nutrient
cycling.
- High temperature
solvent extraction method is the method that using the monotectic
reaction and utilizes the difference of distribution ratio of solute
element.
- Tin-lead alloy (Sn+Pb)
is used for solvent element because of forming the 2 liquid phase
coexistence system with stainless steel and carbon steel
- Aluminium recovered
from recycling is far more efficient. Only of the energy is needed to
melt and remake aluminium products from recycled aluminium cans.
- Steel is also 100%
recyclable and one of the most widely recycled materials.
- Melting separation
technology is the technology of separating the element containing the
radioactive isotope in the radioactive metal waste, and reducing
concentration of radioactivity.
- Dragout reduction and
recovery is an important P2 technique for metal finishing. It is a
simple technology used by metal finishers to return plating chemicals to
their original bath before they become integrated into a waste
stream.
- A new technique is
available to predict where metal quality is lost in the recycling
process could make recycling cost-effective and reduce the need for raw
material inputs.
- After utilizing the P2
techniques previously mentioned, recovery techniques can be used to
recover metal for reuse. Recovery should begin with segregation of waste
streams.
- Metals recycling is a
£4.5billion UK industry, processing ferrous and non ferrous metal scrap
into vital secondary raw material for the smelting of new metals. The
industry employs over 8,000 people and makes a net contribution to UK
balance of trade.
- Manufacturing of metals
continues to be one of the largest UK manufacturing sectors, employing
more people, and contributing more value to the UK economy
