摘要

Secondary recyclingRecycling is gaining global attention due to stricter greenhouse gas targets, limited availability of high-gradeGrade material, and the drive to conserve copperCopper and associated metalsMetal to avoid sending considerable amounts to landfill. Flowsheets in secondary recyclingRecycling are mainly comprised of raw material preparation and management, metallurgical operationOperation units, off-gas treatmentGas treatment systems, and product streams. This paper discusses process flowsheetsProcess flowsheet and technologyTechnology offerings across the full production chain suitable to process flexible raw material feeds ranging from high-value e-waste to low metallic content residues that can be integrated into an existing primary and/or secondary smelterSmelter or treated as a stand-alone process. Material management and samplingSampling is an imperative component of this flowsheet to ensure a comprehensive mass balance and effective pretreatment prior to processingProcessing in metallurgical units. All components of the input material can be processed in a continuous or batch-wise operationOperation with limited primary energy sources, often replaceable to a certain extent with secondary energy sources. The metallurgical process can be selected based on the type of recycled metalMetal-containing material (both pyrometallurgyPyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgyHydrometallurgy) along with specific technologyTechnology offerings (e.g., top-blown rotary converter, top submerged lance furnaceFurnace).
