Today, Nov. 15, is America Recycles Day, which was created to raise awareness about recycling and the purchasing of recycled products. A Keep America Beautiful national initiative, it is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the U.S. Did you know that around 20% of the world's aluminum requirements are covered by post-consumer scrap? Not to be left out, recycled steel is going to play a big part in the industry moving forward. Greensteel, for example, plans to recycle scrap steel using electric-arc furnaces powered by renewable energy. What about titanium? A plant in Europe will produce aviation-grade titanium by recycling. Chips and solid scrap are collected from aircraft manufacturers and then turned into titanium alloys.
Understanding the true rate-limiting factors when configuring and sizing a metals-recovery system is critical to realizing the full potential of the system. Additionally, managing energy within the system will have a large impact on the operating costs and uptime/maintainability of the system.
Real Industry Inc. announced that Real Alloy Holding Inc. closed on the purchase of select assets of Beck Aluminum Alloys, a privately held operator of three secondary aluminum recycling plants in the U.S.
Service Center Metals (SCM) of Prince George, Va., placed an order with Hertwich Engineering to supply a compact-type remelt plant for the production of extrusion billets.
ALD Vacuum Technologies GmbH signed a memorandum of understanding with NUKEM Technologies GmbH and E.ON Technologies GmbH to develop a concept for local melting services to recycle radioactive metallic wastes from closed nuclear power plants.
In today’s business climate, companies that operate thermal-processing systems in the recycling area must focus on higher productivity, increased product quality and reduced environmental impact. The recycling of aluminum scrap involves combustion as the main heat source, so meeting these challenges at the lowest cost depends largely on the quality and integrity of the combustion system and its interaction with the scrap.
