摘要

The growing concern for sustainability and efficient resource management has led to the exploration of innovative technologies, such as nanotechnology, in the production of recycled materials. This study addresses the impact of nanotechnology in obtaining and characterizing aluminum briquettes from beer containers, a material widely used for its ability to be recycled in large volumes. The goal of this research is to evaluate how the integration of nanoparticles and the use of modeling and simulation in SolidWorks can improve the mechanical properties of briquettes and optimize the efficiency of the production process in the metalworking industry. The briquettes were manufactured by compacting re-cycled aluminum from beer containers, incorporating nanotechnological binders, and analyzed using simulations in SolidWorks to determine their structural and energy efficiency properties. The results indicate that the addition of nanotechnological binders significantly improves the compressive strength, hardness, and thermal and electrical conductivity of briquettes compared to conventional methods. In addition, simulation proved to be an effective tool for optimizing production setup. It is concluded that nanotechnology, together with modeling and simulation, has a high potential to improve both the mechanical properties and the efficiency of aluminum recycling, which could contribute to the sustainability of the aluminum industry in Cuba.
