Recycling of Metallic Materials
- An Introduction to Metal Recycling: The position of metal material recycling in the production chain, environmental preservation, and energy consumption, waste management (waste reduction, reuse, material recycling, energy recovery, disposal), classification of various types of waste.
- Sustainable Material Production: Life cycle analysis, calculating the efficiency of metal recycling at the end of the life cycle.
- Secondary Sources in Material Recycling: Scrap, municipal waste, industrial waste, slag, dross, dust, sludge, wastewater, filter cake, ash, intermediate products.
- Theory and Technology of Physical Separation/Recycling Processes: Particle size analysis, particle movement velocity in fluids, pulp rheology, sampling, liberation, preparation, comminution, and classification, gravity separation processes (shaking table, jig, classifier, spiral separator, heavy medium separation), magnetic separation (high- and low-intensity magnetic separators, magnetic fluid separator), electrostatic separation (froth flotation), flotation with bubbles, floatation with a bott
- Steel Recycling: Steel, slag, and dust from stainless steel alloys.
- Copper Recycling: Raw materials, scrap, slag, dust, processing copper-containing scrap.
- Aluminum Recycling: Recycling methods, raw materials, scrap, coating removal products, recovery from chips, melting, and purification.
- Lead Recycling: Raw materials (scrap, waste, and by-products), battery breakdown and lead paste recycling, smelting and refining processes.
- Nickel and Cobalt Recycling: Recovery from superalloy scrap, recovery from spent catalysts.
- Zinc Recycling: Production of zinc oxide from dross, recovery of zinc from electric arc furnace dust, recovery of zinc from copper industry dust.
- Recycling of Precious and Rare Earth Metals.
