The melting of metals containing a radioactive source can have devastating health, environmental and financial implications. But according to leading lights within the recycling industry, scrap processors do not receive adequate support from governments, among others, in tackling this monumental challenge. The industry’s concerns were highlighted at a workshop dedicated to the subject at the BIR world recycling body’s recent Autumn Convention in Düsseldorf, Germany.
“Quality second generation analyser that is well built, robust and fast. Perfect for what we need in the scrap yard.”
As a start-up scrap yard, Romuta wanted to build an advanced, digitalised scrap yard of the future. They met with Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science team to test the Vulcan laser induced breakdown (LIBS) analyser, being impressed with its speed in accurately identifying alloys and data management. Now with a Vulcan, the team has been able to start to achieve their vision.

HCl emissions reduced from 1000mg/Nm3 to 5mg/Nm3.
Process: To recover aluminium scrap from plastic foil.
A Glosfume high temperature ceramic filter system replaced an existing bag filter that had suffered severe corrosion. This was due to being operated at low temperatures, combined with extremely high HCl levels, during aluminium scrap decoating.
Lime injection provided inadequate HCl removal and led to problems with CaCl2 `setting` in the bag filter house. The problem was eventually overcome by utilising...
Many horse racetracks throughout the world are designed to drain water from the track into a lagoon that is located in the infield of the track. Due to the track being predominantly used for horse racing, there is a high amount of fecal coliform, especially of the Escherichia coli species, bacteria in the water that drains from the track. During the racing season, fecal coliform and E. coli counts increase dramatically and the subsequent drainage of these lagoons can become a problem for the receiving waters.
