Recycling metal is a vital initiative that every person on Earth should take part in; not only because it helps to preserve our natural resources and reduce the need to mine for new ores, but also because it protects our planet from harmful emissions created by the entire mining and manufacturing enterprise. If you would like to do your part to help our environments sustain healthy stasis for centuries to come, start by creating a simple recycling routine at home or in the office. Collect soda cans, soup cans, food cans, and all other everyday scrap metal commodities, even broken appliances and tools, and then take your collection to a local metal recycling drop off location or scrap yard. You will be helping the environment and making some cash at the same time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, you may be more motivated by learning just how\nmetal is recycled from start to finish. It happens in various ways all over the\nworld, but here in the U.S., most metal refining is done in 7 steps. Continue\nreading to learn them all right now!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step \u2776 \u2013 Collection<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Metal scraps are collected, from soda cans and food cans, to\nsheet metal, plumbing materials, construction materials, power tools, farming\nequipment, machinery, electronics, appliances, junk cars, auto parts, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step \u2777 \u2013 Sorting <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As scrap materials come in to the recycling center, they are\nseparated from the mixed scrap metal stream and sorted according to the type, weight,\nand color. Typically, this step is automated, and implemented using sensors and\nmagnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step \u2778 \u2013 Processing<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Once metals are separated into categories, they are shredded\nfor processing. This makes metal melt faster using less energy. You see, small\nshredded metal material retains a higher surface-to-volume ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step \u2779 \u2013 Melting<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Shredded scrap metal will then be placed into a large\nfurnace for melting. Centers have separate furnaces designated and designed to\nmelt down particular types of metal. Depending on various factors, the actual\ntime metal takes to melt will range from a few minutes to a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step \u277a \u2013 Purification<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Metal refining centers want their final products to be high\nquality and free of impurities, which is why scrap metal is purified after the\nmelting stage. Electrolysis is the most common and accepted method of metal\npurification in the recycling industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step \u277b \u2013 Solidifying<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

During this stage, metals take a ride on a conveyor belt\nwhere they are shaped into bars or sheets, and cooled to a solid form. These forms\nare dependent on the type of metal and intended application. For instance, aluminum\nis formed into small sheets, while steel is typically formed into blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step \u277c \u2013 Transporting the Metal Bars<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

After the metals have cooled and solidified, they are ready\nto be transported to factories for re-use. Factories use reprocessed metals as\nraw materials, which uses substantially less energy to mine virgin materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
