Aerinnova B.V.

When processing bottom ash, non-ferrous metal concentrates are recovered, a mixture of non-ferrous metals and adherent bottom ash mineral. These non-ferrous metal concentrates need to undergo further processing in order to obtain pure metal streams, which can subsequently be sold as high-grade raw materials. Aerinnova specialises in the recovery of various metals from non-ferrous metal concentrates. By applying innovative sorting techniques to specific fractions, Aerinnova succeeds in recovering non-ferrous metals with a high grade of purity. Aerinnova separates the various metals on the basis of density, shape and composition. The separated metals such as aluminium, copper, brass and stainless steel are therefore ideal for supplying smelters. The residual bottom ash mineral can be used as a construction aggregate for making concrete or as a hardening material in road construction.
