The metal recycling process involves several steps that are equally important to the overall enterprise. From collecting and transporting materials, to sorting, processing, smelting, purifying, solidifying, re-purposing, distribution, and more, the scrap metal recycling industry works hard to ensure our natural resources are preserved. Many often wonder what it\u2019s like taking in thousands of pounds of scrap metal and other materials, and how it is possible to separate the good stuff from the rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, continue reading to learn the top three technologies used in the business to separate scrap metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eddy Current Separation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

For recyclable piles that contain a mixture of materials,\nEddy current separation method is used to sort metal from the plastic, paper, and\ntextiles. During the process, electrical currents are streamed across the pile of\nmaterials, which attracts and levitates all metal, even metals that are not\nmagnetic. From here, the metals can be further separated using additional\nmagnetic technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magnets<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

All metal can be categorized as ferrous or non-ferrous,\nsince ferrous simply refers to iron content. After all, metal either has iron\nin it or it doesn\u2019t. Fortunately, ferrous metal is magnetic, making it easy to\nperform an initial separate of ferrous and nonferrous materials at a scrap\nyard. Metals and materials that do not attract to the large-scale, industrial magnets\nremain in the pile for further separation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal Sensing <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Metals that are higher in value, such as lead, copper, and precious\nmetal, must be separated using a more technologically advanced and\nsophisticated process. Metal sensing technologies work best, as they are\ndesigned with innovative sensors that detect such metals through infra-red\nscanning and x-ray. The common types of metal sensing include pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy,\nand biotechnology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
