WEEE Sorting Processes and Separation of Copper Wires with Support of Dem Modeling

Recycling of wires and cables waste is very important part of copper recovery process. Small size of crushed wires leads to the technical and environmental difficulties to ensure an efficient way to successful recovery process. In this article experiment with copper separation by gravity separator was solved. Due to importance of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) global waste streams was this experiment done. Also DEM simulation support for the equipment design is demonstrated in this paper.

Abstract

Recycling of wires and cables waste is very important part of copper recovery process. Small size of crushed wires leads to the technical and environmental difficulties to ensure an efficient way to successful recovery process. In this article experiment with copper separation by gravity separator was solved. Due to importance of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) global waste streams was this experiment done. Also DEM simulation support for the equipment design is demonstrated in this paper.
