The reported quantities of copper, gold, and silver in this amount of e-scrap material are summarized in Table I. As a consequence, the KDU can safely run dry and is unaffected by dirty water. In the scope of the new strategy, Aurubis will also focus on processing concentrates that are even more complex in the future, and will thus be able to expand the volume of recovered metals, such as selenium and nickel. 25. Although the present case study example considers a compact plant handling t/year of blended e-scrap plus low-grade copper scrap feed in the United States, larger plants can also be built. In combination with a flow-optimised, symmetrical piping arrangement, this results in significantly reduced fuel consumption. At the same time, NIMBY syndrome is becoming stronger day by day. 22. The ISASMELT TM process concept for the processing of e- scrap and copper scrap. Denn Kupfer bleibt Kupfer und kann beliebig oft ohne Qualittsverlust recycelt werden. sagt der Bereichsleiter Recycling der Aurubis AG, Volker Pawlitzki. 0000071460 00000 n In the present situation, several operating conditions are therefore possible depending on the specific makeup of the feed. Within the sewer cleaning and industrial disposal sector, KAISER has become synonymous with innovative technological solutions. This situation has in some cases prompted government regulations affecting disposal, exports, and the like. Today, the company processes complex metal concentrates, copper scrap and metal-bearing recycling materials into metals of the highest quality, and can without a doubt be regarded as a forerunner in the industry. Valuable metal resources are returned to the cycle. Copper flows in the United States for the years (in 1000s tonnes of contained copper) 5 Category a Primary refined copper Cu scrap imports (as t of Cu) Refined Cu imports Cu produced from secondary Cu b Copper exports as scrap (as t of Cu) c Apparent total Cu supply d,e Apparent consumption of refined Cu Sources: U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. International Trade Commission, and Copper Development Association. The ability of the ISA- SMELT TM technology to scale up or down 20 would enable smaller lower cost regional plants to be economically built initially, thereby simplifying the scrap collection and transportation systems. 8. 66, No. When it comes to continuous operation in sewers featuring a high fat content and extreme soiling, there is no other system on the market that can match the performance of the KAISER ROTOMAX system with backflushing. This slag can be granulated and may be sold as iron-silicate sand, or it can be appropriately stockpiled or shipped to a designated storage area. d From CDA Annual Data 2012, Copper Supply and Consumption e Based on sum of rows 1 to 4 minus row 5. It does not constitute or form part. To ensure its position at the forefront of the industry, Aurubis will pursue ongoing improvement to proactively tackle the possible challenges of international competition. While the headquarters, together with the companys largest production site, still exist in Hamburg, Aurubis has extended its operation to 22 countries in Europe, Asia and North America. 3. 5 It is noted that this breakdown by type is only approximate for the purposes of illustration of recent trends; the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission break down copper scrap into a greater number of categories than shown in Fig. The proposed plant has facilities to receive and handle a range of different feed types according to both physical properties and chemical composition. A multi-stage filter system is not needed if the KDU is used. 9 ISASMELT TM for the Recycling of E-Scrap and Copper in the U.S. Case Study Example of a New Compact Recycling Plant 831 metal content of the slag warrants it, this slag can be transferred to a small rotary furnace for reduction to a Pb-Sn alloy that can be collected and then sold. 26. Rebecca Brosnan Head of Asia Commodities 22 April 2015, CLASS TEST GRADE 11. When producing zinc sulfate from KRS oxide, a residue remains that contains copper, tin and lead in an enriched form. The core elements of KAISER vehicles, such as the high-pressure jetting pump, vacuum pump and recycling system, represent technologies in their own right and are all part of an optimally tuned design approach.
